Flashback

I remember this one time, when I was a freshman in Florida. I had just started a new school and I was trying to make friends and fit in. If you've ever gone to school with me you know how I carry a novel around all the time. Well, this one day, couldn't have been more than a month after school started, I sat down at the start of my World Geography

When you only see someone every once in awhile, or you havn't seen them in a long time, whenever you hear about them or read their LJ or whatnot your mind always flashes back to a mental picture. For you, my mind always flashes back to this picture:



At first glance, this doesn’t look like a very good picture at all. A little dark and seems to be in a strange location if you didn’t already know. But every time I think about you my mind pulls me to this picture. I never thought of you as a nerd (but then again, we all were) or a suck-up or anything along that line. Within those three short weeks I learned that you were a caring and compassionate person, one that can get any job done when he puts his mind to it, but while being self-driven wouldn’t hesitate to help others at any time, a guy that loved to have fun but knew where to draw the line, a guy that had impeccable taste in music, someone who was sarcastic and biting yet amusing at the same time.

And I bet you're still wondering why that picture. My mind always goes back to the "trust me I’m a doctor" picture. As random as it seems it’s because along with the compassion and great taste in music, you seemed like someone you could really trust. Not many people are extremely honest anymore. The thing I remember most about you is your trustworthiness - the connections you made with people - and for that I will never forget you.
