So the time has finally come. We all knew when we started this trip what the finall stop was. It was inevitable. And yet, we never let that get in the way.
Somehow, someway, we always found a way to have fun. Sometimes it was a simple hangout, other times it was a party. Regardless, we tried to pretend the day was so far away, and we had plenty of time to do things together.
Well, that time has come.
And it wasn't long enough.
Many of us never got a chance to develop a relationship past "general accquantince". For that, I truly am sorry. There was more than enough of me to go around. Many of us started of disliking each other, thinking the worst. But time changed that, and we each learned to appreciate and except each other. Over time, that same appreciation made us friends.
I have always been, and hope to continue to be, a source of comfort for those that need it, and a fount of wisdom for those that sought it. And so, it is with a heavy heart that I enter my last entry onto the livejournal community.
To Liz: Liz, you saw me as an older brother figure who would always look out for you. I saw you as a sister that need protection. Even though you are moving on to college, and have a great guy for a boyfriend, I want you to know, there is no distance that can seperate us. I will continue to look out for you. The best advice I can leave you is that at school, make friends with the people who live near you, whether it be in the dorms, or an appartment. You may never know when one of them may be in a class with you. As far as teachers go, make a good impression. At U of A, you are going to be a statistic, as classes will be larger than what your used to. If you are struggling, meet with a teacher, and use their office hours. The benefits will be well worth it.
To Serena: We talked a little bit about ASU, so the same thing I said to liz goes for you. I won't lie to you-College will be unnerving. So long as you aren't alone though, it won't be too bad. I am so glad we got to be friends over the years, and I hope you and tyson stay together, dispite what may happen in college. Stick with your acting-You really have something going for you, and I don't want to see that talent wasted away through inactivity.
To tyson: Buddy, you have a brilliant furure ahead-You just lack the courage to realize it. You know how to make the tough decisions in life when it comes down to it. So any parting advice I can give you is this-Grab life by the horns. Literally. Take charge of your life and you will realize the potential you have inside you. The potential I see in you, serena see's in you. the potential that will take you somewhere. And stick with your acting and photography. Both are strong suits in youyr life-Don't let them go to waste.
To Jake: Dude, we really are copies of each other. So All I really have to say to you is don't give up. If you really desire something, risk it. Don't sit on the sidelines and hope for the best. You can do better than that. Yoiu know it, I know it. You have a good heart jake. And just a note-Whoever loses the most weight gets dinner from the loser. So, YOUR ON!
To Katherine: I am really glad to hear you are considering SUU. If that is where you really want to go, start the paperwork now. Get the acting scholorships. Go for the gold. Because if you wait, you'll have fun, but it will be fun at the cost of $10,000. You have a gift. Use it wisely.
To Jeph: Same thing I said to Katherine applies to you. Give it your all. You are a serious person beneath that comedic exterior. Use that to you advantage.
To the Divas: Where would I be without you guys? You helped me become social, broke me out of my shell, and made me realize what friendship is all about. I know we have had hardships these last few years, and many that we all called friends turned their bakcs ont he group. I hope yoiu realize that I am in no way turning away from you. I intend to return the same old zach who worries about everything, but isn't afraid to party it up with the best of them. I want you guys to stay safe. I want you all around when I get back. I don't want to come home to a diva group that has shrunk again-for any reason.
So there we ahve it. The final goodbyes, the final bits of advice.
This isn't the end though. I am not leaving you all in darkness.
You will still be able to contact me!
My address will be:
Elder Zachary Frank King

It is imperitive that if you wish to recieve letters that you write to me here quickly. This is not my permanent address. Anyone that has sent me a letter here will recieve a letter with my Georgia address, because I don't have it right now.
So there we have it.
The end of an era.
The dawning of a new age.
For all of us, a chapter of our life has just ended. A new one is about to begin. So I say, step forward into this new begining, and see where it takes you.
