woah long time...

I'd like to take a moment and appreciate you all. Honestly, without my friends from back in the day I wouldn't be where I am. I have become/am becoming the person I want to be...and each of you had a part in it. Even if we've drifted apart or we don't see eye to eye on things...i have happy memories of you all- from my teenybopper days, my depressed teen days, my obsessive love and heartbreak days, my days when i learned to speak up for myself and voice an opinion- hell to even have an opinion of my own. You've all been with me....there was a time i thought i'd never be happy- there was a time i thought i'd never amount to anything...while i can't say that i'm 100% happy (i have a feeling that doesn't exist) or know exactly where life will lead me, i know that i have learned lessons and hold tiny moments in my heart that will get me through it all. i remember the carpools to middle school and hanson tapes and the skating rink...all the way through the girlie drama over kissing boys. But i remember the first time my heart really hurt- when they split our schools and my 'crew' was taken from me- you were my everything (oh the nights on avatar). Thank you for it all.

My 'new friends' the ones who have been with me during this time in our lives while each of us discovering new parts of our inner beings, deciding what we want out of our grown up lives. My ideals and thoughts change day to day, so do yours- yet you are my family. You get me, the ever changing me. And i can't say where we'll be in 10 years, but i know that i smile just thinking of you, and i'll tell my 10 children about my drunken debauchery in hopes that they too can find that happy balence of learning books, learning love, and learning life.

Life is full of challenges and i couldn't meet them alone...but when i needed my space you have given it to me, and when i fall on my face or have a life changing realization about this world of ours- you're there w/open arms.

My dreams led me to where i am today- and while it may be a broken road i've traveled... i'm blessed to have taken it with you... life is short, and as far as i can tell- we get one shot at it, thanks for sharing it with me
