What stresses you out?

There are a lot of things that stress me out. School stresses me out, soccer stresses me out, friends stress me out, and family stresses me out at times. Probably the main thing I stress about the most is my future and how much I have control of it. Very often I get anxious about how I’m progressing academically and athletically and if it will be enough for the next level I’ll inevitably have to rise to.

What makes a good friend?

I think a good friend is someone who you can depend on when you need them to be there. Very often people expect their friends to be there for them at all times, but that’s unrealistic; what is feasible is a friend who is there when you really need it. A good friend defends you at all times, even if you’re not there. I think a good friend does what they can to support your happiness even if it’s not a decision they agree with. Friends don’t lie, friends don’t hurt their friends intentionally, and friends are honest.
