《Journey of 365 Days (((Kind of Completed)))》10--Friendship
Advertisement
[Write about being friends with someone.]
I’ve had plenty of friendships fail due to either misunderstandings or the other person simply not being on the same page as I.
I vividly remember one time in elementary school when I annoyed my friend so much that he became furious and yelled at me (I even remember his name! Not gonna tell it, though). This friend of mine, Friend A, loved Minecraft as much as I and spoke with me about it many a time (that’s unrelated to why the friendship fell apart, but it’s the reason I began). One day, during class, I had the fun idea to suddenly grab his shoulder from behind and yell “BOO!”. Oh boy was it funny! The dude flinched so hard he nearly dropped the stuff he was holding! However, he didn’t find it nearly as funny, and told me not to do it again. You can guess what happened after that. After scaring him two or three more times he had enough, which was when he yelled at me and called me names. Friend A and I weren’t on the same page regarding jump scares and he hated me for it because I didn’t take his words seriously.
Thankfully, that was a long time ago… Not to say that I grew out of scaring people for fun—I still love to do it and will try to scare anyone I can—but that the friendship I lost at the time was meaningless, because it wouldn’t have lasted past that year (if I remember correctly, I moved at the end of the school year).
Another example I recall is when Friend B hated me for…messing with his concentration during a competitive game. I’m not going to be too specific, but we were playing a game to win, we had the option to mess with each other’s concentration to an extent, and I took the opportunity. He told me to stop, despite him doing it too, and…we haven’t yet made up. Oh well.

Anyway, the point of all this is to say…don’t put all your eggs in one basket and invest in many friends so that when some inevitably lose their value you have others to fall back on.

No, of course not (unless that works for you). The point of this is to say that the ultimate survival skills in a social world include the ability to switch between an introverted persona and an extroverted persona so that when friendships inevitably don’t work out, they don’t emotionally affect you.

The Sagas of Mortaholme
There is only one god and his name is Elduin, Dwarves are stories, magic isn’t real and the northern kingdoms are made up of raiders and the unfaithful. For two thousand years this has been the truth for the people of Alturine, the holy southern empire. For two thousand years, tradition has been leeched away to form a vicious cycle where the rich stay rich and the poor beget more poverty. Only now, when the southern realms of men are at their lowest does darkness leak back to stake its claim. Marius was raised in the northernmost reaches of Alturine under the trees of the Black Forest where remnants of the old kingdoms still linger. He never believed the stories of short mountain men, nor the old fables about mages and dragons. Yet the darkness cares little for belief and faith. He watched as wargs tore his mother and sister asunder, as the undead carried his father into their ranks and as his town was put to the torch and drowned in blood. Rage fuelled and vengeful Marius struck out against the architect of his misery only to be outmatched and left for dead.
