So I'm sitting here thinking of what I want to say and how I want to say it. I don't want to name any names in the process, which makes the whole thing a bit more difficult, but I will try my best.
To A: I know you don't know it, but after last year and the conversation we had when you got home, I questioned your friendship. With so many people turning out to be rude and hateful, I thought perhaps since you were spending so much time with those I felt betrayed by, you were also not to be trusted. I went into this year considering you someone to stay away from, but without you even realizing it, you proved your friendship, and I want to thank you. I know we only get to see you once a year, but if you ever come out this way, it would be great to see you.
To J: I straight up told you I wanted nothing to do with you until you proved that you had changed and you wanted to be genuine friends again. This year, there was a glimmer of hope that you did want to make amends and leave all of the shit-talking behind you and grow up. That lasted about a day before I hear that you've gone back to your old ways and are slandering people I care about (and perhaps me, who knows). Good job, all you've proved is that once again you'll say one thing to my face and do another the first chance you get. I still see a good person in there, you just are unwilling to let it shine. Get back to me when you figure it out.
To S: I have never spoken to you. You have never spoken to me. I do not know you as a person. You don't know me. It seems to me that if you truly had no desire to associate with the people I associate with, there would be no reason for you to always look at me with such spite. If you really have no interest in my friends, why do you even put energy into despising someone you haven't even met or crossed paths with? It really doesn't make any sense. I don't hate you, and I don't know you, but I do know you've done some really shitty things in your life. Good news is, you will ALWAYS have the ability to make amends at any point. You can ALWAYS decide to do the right thing and make up for lost time. My opinion of you is only affected by the face that you haven't done so.
To S (another S): So you like to talk shit. We know this. EVERYONE knows this. Problem you have is that you're beginning to talk bad about your "friends" and about people you really should just know better not to. It is because of you in large part that the only official party for staff members was ruined. It is because of you your friends are mentioning your name and "shovel", "pit", and "no longer a problem" in the same sentence. What you do with your life is your own choice, but I'm just throwing it out there that maybe you should take a step back and reevaluate the choices you are making.
To my friends: Thank you all so much. I know I have no real social life because of school and work, but you guys are the reason I keep coming back. It is the one time of year that I know I will get to see you and catch up and just enjoy spending time with you. If it weren't for all of you guys, last year would have been my last year. It was great getting to hang out in the restaurant with those of you that got the chance to come up, even if only for a few minutes. I am always down for chatting online or finding some way to hang out. Feel free to give me a call or shoot me an e-mail; I will try my hardest to work something out.
For everyone else: I may be young, but it seems to me that if you don't like someone, it saves a lot of energy and time (not to mention karma) to just ignore the person. Talking bad about someone not only ruins acquaintances, but you also send all of that bad energy into the world. After awhile it seems like you just turn into such a negative person that you wake up in a bad mood and you go to bed the same. That's just not the kind of life I would want anyone to live; the point being, it's your choice. Take it from me, it's so much easier to just ignore the people who bring negativity into my life. Now, I wake up happy, I try to see the good in life, and I go to sleep happy. I find life is so much better that way.

Have a good night everyone.
