Life As A Carrot

What does it mean to be a carrot? Being a carrot means that I'm tough & shiny, But

when I'm being boiled in water Im the total opposite, the water would represent all the

problems going on in life. I am a carrot in my relationships with my ex best friend and

my boyfriend.

My relationship with my ex best friend crumbled like bread. It all started when

we were all friends. Terasa, Emma, and I were “ The Trio”. The problem with being in a

trio is that there's usually always one person that will feel left out. That seemed to

happen a lot in our friendship. For example I once asked Terasa and Emma if they'd

like to get their nails done with me and they both said yes. I then told Emma that Terasa

was also going. Emma got really upset and started saying that I hung out with Terasa

more than I did with her. After I said that I cancelled the plans with both of them. The

following day at school Emma and I were not speaking to each other. Slowly I grew

apart with Emma and grew even closer with Terasa. Emma grew apart from me and

Terasa. Emma grew close with her new friend Lily. I then got upset and I cut off Emma

completely. Later that month Emma started bullying me so I bullied her back. Which

resulted in the both of us almost getting suspended. Since then we were no longer

friends. At first I didn't mind but later into the summer I had an urge to call and

apologize to her because I missed her. But instead I now use our friendship as a

reference to all my current friendships. That was how I was a carrot in my relationship

with my ex-best friend Emma.

My relationship with my boyfriend is great! For the most part at least. I always

feel as if I'm not getting enough attention from him. So I talk to other people, my guy
friends. When I'm with my guy friends I feel heard and wanted. I sometimes get the

feeling that I don't want to be with him, but when I see or even talk to him all those

thoughts go away. That is how I am a carrot in my relationship with my boyfriend. I'm

all tough and sure I don't want to be with my boyfriend but, when I do see him I melt

inside and hate the fact that I could ever think that.

Out of all my problems I think I most represent a carrot the most in my relationship

with Emma and my boyfriend. My relationship with the one person I truly trusted was

gone. My relationship with my boyfriend is complicated. Overall I am proud to be a

carrot. Being a carrot means I'm tough & shiny, But when I'm being boiled in water I’m

the total opposite, the water would represent all the problems going on in life. Without

Emma and my boyfriend I wouldn't be who I am today, a carrot.
