Welp...this is it! We all finally made it!! :o)
Somewhere b e t w e e n the procrastination
And the homework
And the incessant forwards
And the friendships
And the nasty cafeteria food
And the calls to each other complaining about crushes & boyfriends
Somewhere b e t w e e n the phone calls to old friends
And the "I miss you's"
And the "I love you's"
And the "What are we doing tonight's?"
And somewhere b e t w e e n all of the changing; growing..
Somewhere b e t w e e n the classes
And the skipping classes
And the studying for tests
And the pretending to study for tests
And the downright NOT studying for tests..
I forgot.
I forgot what High School is all about.
I forgot what it meant to cry
I forgot that pretending to be happy doesn't make you happy.
And that pretending to be smart doesn't make you smart.
I forgot that you can't just forget the past in fear of the future.
I forgot that you can't control falling in love
And that you can't make yourself fall in love.
I learned that I can love.
I learned that it's okay to mess up
And it's okay to ask for help
And it's okay to feel like CRAP.
I learned it's okay to complain and whine to all your friends
I learned that sometimes the things you want the most you just can't have.
I learned that the greatest thing about high school isn't the parties
Or the DRINKING or the hook-ups..
It's the friendships, which means taking chances.
I learned that sometimes the things we want to forget are the
things which we most need to talk about.
I learned that letters from friends are the most important thing.
But, basically, I just learned that my friends
Both o l d and n e w
Are the most important people to me in the world.
And without them, I wouldn't be who I am today.
So this is a thank you to all of my friends
For always being there and I love you.
