[STORYTIME/RANT]
Me and my childhood bf have always been "rivals" in everything. Our teachers used to pit us against eo in everything! Be it academics, the presidential elections or other extra curricular activities. Ever1 thought that we had this "jealousy" thing going btw us +
Me and my childhood bf have always been "rivals" in everything. Our teachers used to pit us against eo in everything! Be it academics, the presidential elections or other extra curricular activities. Ever1 thought that we had this "jealousy" thing going btw us +
But I don& #39;t remember ever taking the competition the wrong way. We always did our best to win in every competition without caring Abt our opponent. Never gave up on opportunities for eo. Whenever I look around me, I see so much toxicity in relationships +
There is always someone giving too much n someone who is taking too much without giving enough in return. Why can& #39;t we focus on ourselves? Loving ourselves? Doing best for ourselves? And why can& #39;t we understand that if someone is prioritizing themselves then it& #39;s okay +
Mutual respect and understanding should never be forsaken. So what if my friend wanted to win the student presidential election? I wanted the same thing for myself. God, I remember ppl telling me that Ayesha is doing this n that to win the election..."Why is she working so hard+
To win this? Shouldn& #39;t she tone it down?" And ppl told her the same things "shouldn& #39;t she back off? It shouldn& #39;t matter who wins this because you are friends" the words they threw around like cunning, emotionless, too ambitious, disloyal etc. were air to us. +
Because we knew our reality. They knew nothing abt us. I knew who was standing beside me when my father was hospitalized and who helped me study when I was sick during my boards.
I knew Ayesha& #39;s loyalty to me shouldn& #39;t push her to give up on opportunities that she was working so hard for. She wanted to win at things and so did I so we let eo be ourselves. Ofc, there were times when I was jealous but it was never abt the competition and always abt the ppl+
That she was befriending after we had a mini fallout in 8th grade. I remember how the green monster ate away all my rational thoughts when the "new" girl started calling my best friend her best friend

"Ayesha n Alvina are like two sides of a coin. So different yet never apart" while announcing our board results.
