Sorry it has been so long. I'm so sorry Bob.
The past few weeks or so have been crazy and surreal. Last Monday Colby, Bob, Jason, and I went to the beach and it was amazing. I hope I get another chance to become that relaxed very soon. Going to school for 30 minutes everyday last week seems like a dream. It happened so fast and it was so insignificant that I can barely remember it. I was extremely fortunate to be taken out to an extremely nice dinner on Wednesday by a strapping young man. I can’t thank you enough for that. The grandparents and my sister and her fiancée came in last week to see me graduate on Saturday. Talk about surreal. It hasn’t even kicked in yet that I am no longer in high school. However, the ceremony was nice and brief. The valedictorian’s speech was no good, but Brittney kicked ass. I’m so proud of her. Pro grad was more fun than I expected. All I won was a car vacuum, but it was all worth it when the hypnotist made Colin make out with a microphone, among other things. I will always cherish the last memory of being in that high school.
About four days remain. The most surreal thing of all. I start school in about 2 weeks. I am prepared, however; excited as hell. This is my dream. Can you believe it? All these people living out their dreams and we are all taking it for granted. Please don't. It's probably one of the most amazing feelings ever.
It sucks how some things are turning out after all that we have been through. However, it doesn't bother me. People will mature one day but I guess I just won't be around to see it. And I don't care to see it. I want to live in the real world again; meet people that haven't lived as a spoiled closed-minded person all their life. I can't wait. It still blows my mind how some people act after all that you've been through with them. To all of you that haven't seen real life yet- good luck to you. Please be careful in life because it's tough and once you face REAL problems it's going to hurt, but you will survive. But most of all, please do not dwell on the insignificant shit. Be smart and quit making those stupid decisions. One day you will see what it's really like. But I won't be around to see it. I can't wait.
I want to wish the best of luck to the Highwater guys as they take a huge step in their lives. I know you will do great and I hope you make the best of it. Not only are you living out your dreams, you will get to see all of the amazing parts of the U.S., and that's awesome. I know you will find the most joy in doing this.
And to you. I have much faith in our decision. The pages we live on are the same. It would be stupid to end this. My smile couldn't be bigger. You've saved me from this wretched place. This is our beginning. And I also don't care what they think. (MCT)
Goodbye everyone. I hope to see some of you again. I do wish everyone luck though. Please please be careful and make the right decisions. You all have potential, you just haven't let it shine yet. Now's the time. Be optimistic. Find that person that brings it out in you. And don't put yourself around those who make you frown...that has been my biggest mistake.
Goodnight.
