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
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
starbucks
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 llove
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!~
