text: STUDENT_NAMEYou have been hit with an emotional roller coaster ride that wasn't what you signed up for. Your closest friend has told you heart-breaking news over the phone. "I don't want to see you anymore. I am not going to keep doing this, lying to you. I am not able to keep up this facade anymore. To tell you the truth, I can't handle our relationship. I don't want you to think that the way we are ending is your fault but we just don't mesh as much as we used to. I called to say my good byes and let you know about my real feelings, my true feelings. If you have anything to say to me, this is the last time I will be listening. Also, before I forget, don't call my number unless it is an emergency." Your mind goes blank but, slowly, the weight of their words hits you. Your head is spinning, the unfinished thoughts and emotions are building up inside you, clouding your vision, begging to be released. But with the fear of what might be said if you stay on the phone, you end the call, letting the situation sink in, thinking about what just happened, and how to react. It is hard to avoid, inevitable even, to end up in a situation that doesn't sit well with you. People go through situations that leave their brain scrambled and their heart torn on the daily. They either react irrationally, angrily, or they become confused on how to react, going to other's for their words of wisdom, the feelings of the situation still resonating within them. As a sociable society, we seek multiple opinions to hear what others think, help us make smarter decisions, and allow ourselves the freedom to feel satisfied with how we acted towards the situation afterwards.
