Just a year ago, I was finishing up my BA...after what seemed like a million years, I was finally about to finish my undergrad. Yay ME! (mind you, I'm being totally sarcastic!)
I just don't get it. I have a super duper life...an amazing family (the best parents in the world!)... great friends, I had it all. But still, I was never satisfied. I just wasn't "happy" although I told myself all the time that I was the happiest person alive. Honestly, just recently I realized that frenemies truly do exist. You know, the so-called friends that really just despise everything about you. The ones that say they'll be there for you no matter what but totally sell you out to get themselves ahead in life. Well, I came to a conclusion. I did have a best frenemy...and her name was...TERESA YU. We did everything together and thought that we were invincible and untouchable. We partied like rock stars, enjoyed life in the fast lane, traveled around the globe and lived life to the fullest with no regrets. But at the end of the day, I saw right through her and all her selfish motives. No way could she have truly loved me or even cared about me. She held me back for so many years and took me for granted...just watched me throw my life away. It took some time and guts but I finally broke free from her. I ended my friendship with her, not because I hated her but because I loved myself so much more. I deserved better and even though it took so many years to figure it out, I took control and started over.
Now, I'm living in Florence, Italy and studying my masters in fashion. I'm definitely enjoying life with a new perspective and a heart full of hope and love. I don't hate the old Teresa, not at all...because whether we like it or not, Frenemies are Forever! I just chose not to let her existence effect the new Teresa. I will always love her for all that she offered me...I will cherish our many memories forever. All I can do is wish her the best of luck because deep down inside I still do love her
So, here's to TERESA...the old and the new because she's going to be HAPPY, no matter what!
