"That’s good, I’ll try to do that today with my friends."
"Soo, the other day I got into a really heated argument with my best friend's mom, because they kinda make my friend feel down. I went to confront her, but it turned into an argument. I said some things I'm not too proud of, and wrote her an apology note, but um. I still feel sick from what I said."
"“I'm grateful for you, and my family. Thanks for being here for me!! You're awesome ”"
