You got me, I got you.

There has been plenty of times where my closest friend has helped me out and where I have helped him. We just have each other’s backs. Back in my sophomore year was the first year I had an actual girlfriend because it had lasted roughly 9 months, it was most definitely a roller coaster of a year for me that year. So I can see I definitely was not myself 80% of the time and Fortnite and my close friend just kept me in check through the school year and relationship. You know that feeling where you can sense that someone had lost feelings for you, I felt that for months before this girl had left me because I could not decide if it was true or not so I didn’t listen to my gut and turned out it was right haha.
I was starting to be overweight, didn’t do my exercise, never cared for school and just never did my homework, and always failed two classes a year. (p.s. I have got myself on track to graduate so we’re good now) but what helped me to get out of this shitty mindset would of to be my close friend, Bill. Bill had helped me out and put me in my place and forced me to be a much better person and to focus more on myself than others around me. He stuck his hand out to me and pulled me out of the hole I had dug for myself. So if he never showed me the gym, advice, been there for me, honestly I wouldn’t know where I would be haha. It is just crazy to think about how one person can impact your life so much, but he was a big part of it, I definitely can not forget the rest of the bills that had helped me too, they all really make my life so much more fun than it used to be, I gotta say thank you to them for all the great time I had with them and thank them for always helping not just me but each and one of us back up after taking a fall.
One time I had even helped Bill back up. I have never seen the kid cry once in my life and the day his dog died was the first time I actually got to see him cry and it was definitely new to me. After a while, you think your friend doesn’t have emotions to cry or feel upset and just seems to always happen and down to Earth and just straight up enjoying life but once his dog died the kid definitely seemed like the dog was well-loved by him and others. So that whole day I went over I slept over and we ground out Fortnite all day and caught many duo wins and just had a straight-up blast. We had chatted about his dogs passing and just laughed about the fun times we had with that dog and all the fond memories we have with the dog. That dog legit jumped on one of Bills friends way back when and cut his friend’s head so he’s now always scared of the dog. I leave after a few nights stay and a few weeks past and Bill had sent me a picture of his new dog and he definitely seemed super happy about having the new dog. I think everyone does have a true friend(s) that they can rely on and know that their friends will pull them out of the ground and clean them off. Through all the “I don’t know what I will do without her”s to all the “Man, I really miss my dog” than the famous quote of “let’s go play some fort” or “Let’s go get something from the kitchen”. Definitely always a good time with the closest.

Overall this is a good story about how he has always been there. I have been able to see your guys friendship grow and you guys do have a pretty good bond. I remember sophomore year because we had some classes together and I remember all the stories you would tell me in Math class that year. I have seen you grow so much from that year it is crazy. Keep grinding.
Where would we be without friends? Crazy to think about how things can turn so different for better or worse with the slightest little or “big” push we receive in life. The place or person we might be without the people we love and cherish so close to us. Question yourself and think, where might you be if that friend really didn’t push you. Would you be graduating? Would you have found your way? Would you have eventually tried to change yourself at all? Or would you just fall down a dark hole you couldn’t pick yourself out of? I did really enjoy your story though, it was deep and very wholesome.
Great Post. I liked how you worked hard to overcome your issues and your friends helped you overcome challenges and make you a better person because of it. 🙂
Wow, this was a great blog. Thank you for sharing your story about the tough times you endured. I really can relate because I know when i was in a deep spot, my friends were able to grab me as well, and say “Hey look you need to start trying or you wont have fun.”
I thought it was really great how you were able to open up and share the background of how your friend was able to help you mentally an get you on track to where you are now. I also thought it was amazing how you were able to help Bill when he was feeling down about his dog.
I totally agree with the whole having close friends really help you become a better person, if it was not for some of my close friends I would never be where I am now. That is why this post is so relatable to me, everyone needs close friends. Without you have your friend “Bill” do you think you would have ever found yourself and be where you are now?
Really good story Cam. It’s always very sad to lose a pet. I’m glad you were able to help your friend out after he helped you out. Really good job turning your bad habits around, glad I’ve been able to see the progress. Anyways, great story, keep helping your friends out and being a great person!
This was well said man, I’m glad I was able to help you in your toughest times. I’m also thankful you were able to cheer me up when I was down, great job and your title really is true, you got me, I got you.
This was a well written its crazy to see how far you have come truly you have made many changes health wise crafting yourself through hard work and dedication. You also got on track in school actually caring about your work and getting your stuff together its nice to see how far you have come. Its crazy to think where would you be without that bond you and him created?
Great to hear some insight on a personal story, going through tough times like that certainly is hard, but I’m real glad that you were able to do so, especially with the help of your friend, all the while bettering yourself and your situation.
