Somewhere
between
the *procrastination* and the homework..
and the
incessant forwards
and the friendships
and the calls
to
each other complaining about CrUsHeS
and
BF/GF!! Somewhere between
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
between
all of the changing and growing...
somewhere between 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, starbuck coffee,
and Mc Donald's... paying bills and then not paying bills...
Making plans then breaking plans...
Appearing,
Disappearing,
then reappearing... 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 and the things that
you look for are right in front of you.
I learned that the greatest
thing about
HiGh ScHOoL and CoLLeGe
and the working world
it isn't about the parties or the
DRiNKiNG or the Hookups ...
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 LOVE can heal
all things...
I learned that
just when you think it can't get worse - it does! ...
but with the love and
support of
friends - you survive...
I've learned that when you start feeling BaD
about L O S I
N G touch and about those that you've lost!
They too, 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
old 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...
