The realization
You go through your whole life with people telling you not to take things for granted because one day they will be gone. I'm sorry to inform you that it's true. Don't take anything for granted in your life, not your family, not your home, not your successes or accomplishments, and most of all, not your FRIENDS! Friends will be with you through the struggles and the triumphs, but one day they may no longer be around. Just don't take them for granted and if you have something you want to say, TELL THEM, before it's too late.
I hate to sound too philosophical but this is what i have learned the past couple of days. Why, you might ask...well, at the end of the school year I will be moving to the state of Illinois. Through this processes I have realized that I have taken a few of my friends for granted and now i regret not spending enough time with them and i regret not making more of an effort to form relationships with those i don't know very well. I apologize for that and I will do my best to fix that before I must leave. I'm just writing this as a reminder not to take anything for granted because you never know when it won't be there anymore.
Sorry for the heart-to-heart, but i thought it needed to be said.
Leave some love.
