Elysium..explanationg.. not so much

So there was this book I read once. I can't remember if I liked it, or hated it. I couldn't even tell you the author, title or even one character in the book. Though there was a scene towards the end, if not the end of the book completely. I think, the girl is reading and someone explains "Elysium" to her.


I find this particular part of the book perfect to explain my reasoning of "Elysium" and it kills me that I cannot find it. Seriously, have searched high and low and apparently I read it around the time of 2011. That helps a lot.. not. I have tried googling and now I think I am going to go crazy at work trying to think of it. I remember it was pre-kindle days because I took a picture of the page. But to find the book in a mass of books in totes at home, would be nearly impossible.

Right? Right.

Friends are a funny thing. They come in all shapes and sizes and personalities. You meet someone and you're like, hey! I like you.. Let's do stuff together. 

Some friendships start as a seed and grow into a big solid tree that is rooted deep into your life. They are friends that you can't go without. There are ones that are your family of choice and there are ones you still can't figure out why you keep hanging onto. Ones that consecutively let you down over and over. Why hang onto these ones? Why keep going through the same hardships over and over?

I'd like to say I have great friends. I have best friends that I absolutely can't live without. Although, I also have ones that let me down over and over. It's not healthy and it's time to cut those trees down and dig up the roots. It's not worth it toots! These things are also easier said than done.
