The thing that a lot of people don't seem to realise is that the worst kind of betrayal comes from the most unexpected people. Everyone expects it to hurt the most when delivered by lovers, not friends. Never from the ones that you trusted with everything, no holds barred. The ones there since childhood. The platonic relationships that felt as immovable as a cliff. But here's the thing; one wave doesn't crumble a cliff face, but continued brushes of the sea, although seemingly harmless, will collapse the entire coastline. I think toxic friendships are like that. Those little brushes of water, the small pearls of doubt implanted in your mind? That's what crumbles you. Every small fight, every blown-off event, that's the tipping point that causes you to question everything.
That's not even the worst part. Questioning a friendship that old is like questioning your entire existence, for they are that ingrained into your soul. But people change and what once fit the pattern, no longer does, and that terrifying fact has to be accepted.
The problem with that type of ending though? The slowness of it, the excruciatingly long detangle of lives that leaves you both drained and wondering where you could possibly have clawed your way back into each others lives to become as solid again as the rock that you once were, but it cannot be done. I will argue until the extinction of time that this is the most fiercely heartbreaking disadvantage of human emotion. It makes you want to claw your very soul out, for what is your soul without them?

Hello
About Me
My name is Holly and I am 17 years old, living in a small village in England, UK. I am currently taking my A-Levels in English Literature, History, Biology and General Studies and am part of a competitive dance team, which I dearly love. I am an aspiring fashion journalist and I am hoping to do a degree in fashion communication at university next year.
I have always been obsessed with clothes, to the point where I used to wear an average of three outfits a day simply because I couldn't choose only one outfit! (I definitely cost my parents a lot as a child!) I have a definite preference towards florals and bright colours, as I feel this is what best represents my personality through my style, however I will wear anything and everything! I
believe that fashion should make a statement, it shouldn't simply be just something to wear; fashion should make a statement. Clothing has become a multi-billon pound industry (in 2015 the UK fashion industry contributed £28 billion to the economy) and I believe that we, as the consumer, can use this to our advantage. We can all use clothing to show our personalities and style, but we can also use it to spread a message. Fashion is a powerful commodity and it truly can make a difference if used in the right way.
I am very excited to start this blog, as I truly have a passion for fashion (and clearly poetry!) and I love to write as much as I love to talk about clothes, which is a lot! I hope that you all enjoy reading the future posts as much as I know I will enjoy writing them and we can go forward in this world of design together.
See you soon!
