To the women in my life
Hey, its me, I miss you.
Its been a while, but not my fault, I've made great effort to seeing you all, and some of you I have, but I'd like to take the time to rant a bit about some gripes I have, take or leave it, I'm still here.
To you, who I have seen once since I got home, I understand life is busy, and I can understand a lot about life isn't working out, but I disagree with some decisions you've made for your life and I hope you enjoy them.
To you, who has been enjoying life with your boyfriend, and has been offending not just me with other friend neglect, I also hope you enjoy how things turn out. I'm very supportive of relationships, and I think you have a very healthy one with your boyfriend, but at what cost? I also recognize that you've been >400 miles away from him and didn't have much of an opportunity to see him, but this also holds true for most of your friends and family, you are a wonderful person with an infectious personality and poor sense of balance.
To you, who continually cancels plans, I like you, you're wonderful but at this point, I'd settle for seeing you, and getting back what I let you borrow. I've put more effort into seeing you than anyone else, and its disappointing that I haven't seen you since... well, probably september.
To the one who I feel has made a poor decision about romance. Its your life, I'll be here for you when it doesn't work out, I'm glad you're enjoying it while its working. Perhaps I'm wrong, and this is possible, but I just want to put it out there that I think you didn't make a sound choice, but hell if I know, I see you as frequently as most of the other women I call friends.
To you, who will likely not read this, because of your situation, you were out of my life for a while, but that doesn't mean I didn't keep tabs on you, I feel like you're wasting an amazing amount of potential. While drugs may help, and I support you doing what you feel helps, I think there are other alternatives you can do, especially when you are in the situation you're in.
To you, who decided to smoke: Why?
To you, who probably understand exactly what I'm talking about, and I haven't addressed yet, congrats, you have not upset me, you belong to a minority like a pacific islander in a Saint Clair Shores school.
I make a great effort to be a friend first and everything else second. I'll be there for you, even though I don't feel you have for me. I understand college is about meeting new people and making new friends, and if you don't consider me a friend any longer just let me know. Until then I'll still consider you a friend, ignorant of what others have to offer, but a friend never-the-less. I hope you don't feel like you belong in multiple rants.
And to almost all of you, what prompted your decision to drink?
Hope to hear from you soon,
~Greg
