somewhere b e t w e e
n the procrastination.... and
the homework.....
and the incessant forwards..... and
the friendships..... and the calls to
each other complaining about
crushes!!...... Somewhere
b e t w e e n
the phone
calls ! FONT>to
old friends.....
And the
"I miss you's",
the "I love
you's"....... And the "What are we doing
tonight's?".....
And somewhere b e t w ee
n all of the changing,growing...
Somewhere b e t w e e n the classes........ And the skipping classes...... And the studying for
tests.......And the
pretending to study for
tests....... And the
downright NOT studying for
tests... I
forgot.......... I forgot what school was
all about. Somewhere between
all the appointments and starbu! cks coffees, and Diet Mt. Dew's... paying bills and then not paying bills...Making plans then breaking
plans... Appearing, Disappearing, then
re-appearing...I
forgot...I! forgot what it was like to cry....... I forgot that
pretending to be happy doesn't make you happy........... And that pretending to be smart doesn't make
you smart ............ I forgot that you can't just forget the
past in fear of the future.......... I forgot
that you can't control falling in
love........... And that
you can't make yourself fall in
love........... I learned
that I can
love......... I learned
that it's okay to mess
up......... And it's
okay to ask for help......... And it's okay to feel
like crap......... I learned it's okay to complain and whine to
all your friends for a whole day........ I
learned that sometimes the things you want
most you just can't
have. I learned that
the greatest thing about high school and college and
the working world
isn't
the parties or the DRiNKiNG
or the hook-ups... It's the friendships, which means taking chances........ I learned that sometimes the things we
want to forget are the things which we most need
to talk about.......... I learned that
time and
can heal all
things... I learned that just when you think it
can't get worse-- it
does... but w/ the
love and support
of friends--you
survive... I've
learned that when you start feeling bad about losing
touch -- those that
you've lost touch w/ are feeling the same
way...I learned
that letters from !
friends are
the most important
things.And
that sending cards to your friends makes you feel better.
But, basically, I just
learned that my friends........
Both o l d
and new.........
Are the most
important people to me in the world.
AND.......without them,
I wouldn't be who I am today..... So this is a thank
you to all
of my friends. . For always being there.
And even if
we're not on good terms or
we have lost
touch... I will always have
an unconditional love for
you.. ~Always
and forever ~love you!~
