I'm pasting this entry directly from an email i wrote to Chris mainly because i don't want to ever forget it.
Hi. Well, i just got back from Uno's and on my ride home i called you, but you weren't there.. it's ok. I used my time to reflect on the situation i had just been in. Meeting up with old friends. How weird is that? Seriously.. i never thought i'd see the day when Tish was an "old friend" It was strange being there to be honest. She and Corey are so different from me now.. it's amazing how fast people can change.. it's like in the blink of an eye they are someone completely different from what i remember.
I found the two of them feeding off of one another because they're both dealing with breakups. I guess support and consoling one another should be a good thing, but they're just in self destruct mode together. Neither one has a job or even a life. They smoke (weed) every day just for something to do. Twenty three and there's really NOTHING to do? It amazes me, ya know?
It made me realize how truly blessed i am. I have SO much going for me right now. I have a great family, a supportive boyfriend (whom i guess i am guilty of annoying on a regular basis) - friends that i'm thankful for and school -my biggest ticket out of the life they're both dealing with. It makes me sad for them, but at the same time so thankful for me that i never went down that path. I always talk about how my old friends suck or whatever bc im the only one who tries to keep in touch, but i'd rather be without them than be like them. Does that make sense?
Anyhow, i started writing this with the intention of telling you just how thankful i am for you. Thank you for being honest and for loving me even on my bad days. It amazes me that you can make me so mad one day, but the next i can feel like you're the best thing since sliced bread (ha ha.. it's a joke, you can laugh). I guess that's what being in love with someone is all about.. we work through it all, you and me. I'm sorry we've had a rough couple of days. Overall, i think you're pretty great. Thank you for being such a wonderful part of my life.
