It hit me.
Being in journalism, hugging everyone, listening to Led Zeppelin, The Beatles & Aerosmith in particular, made tears well up to my eyes.
Words are kind of lacking right now, for some reason, singing along to the end of "Hey Jude" just embodies the entire situation perfectly. Everyone is quietly singing along and minding their business, but we're all together, and joined, it's a really weird feeling.
This morning, I found my senior farewell that wasn't printed out of spite and malicious intent. Ironically, it was about forgiving and forgetting. We're never going to see eachother again, fate will not allow us to cross paths at a later point in time. Anything that needs to be said, everything you've been holding back because you think that you can always do it tomorrow, you can't.
Today is your last chance.
Today is everyone's last chance.
Tell that girl in your math class you think she's cute.
Forgive your ex-friend for stealing your boyfriend.
High school is the last place you're going to be able to hold a grudge, so be mature about it and don't. Hatred, resent, jealousy and immaturity will do you no good after high school. "Live and let die," as the Beatles said.
To all of my friends, Sacha, Cilla, Lizzy, Erica, Kiwi, Judy & Haidar, thank you for everything. For being there for 4 years, you guys are what keeps my afloat.
To Burgie, thank you for the advice and stories throughout the years, I'll always remember the fan vomit story, and how you always encouraged me to be patient and civil.
To everyone else, thank you for making my high school experience better. Thank you for making me laugh, it meant the world to me. Thank you for making me cry, I've learned to understand that people will dissapoint me and I have to live with that. Thank you for betraying me, I learned that everyone has two sides, and I have to love the good with the bad or not deal with them at all. Thank you for helping me grow as a person, and to learn never to do things like that to others.
To Ana, I never hated you or did you wrong, but you wasted my time and my friendship. I hope you learn the value of true friends, instead of mudbuckets who would sell you out at the drop of a hat. I really hope you have a fun senior year & enjoy life.
To Grace, I hope you don't go through life without living it. I hope you also learn to lvoe yourself and to not push people away. We only want to love you. I hope you do well with your photography & your design.
To any else who had a problem with me, if I ever did you wrong, I'm not going to say I'm sorry, because that would be lying. I'm going to say, good luck in life. I wish you the best.
I leave this entry with nothing but love for every senior who's graduation, with pride for being a part of this group, with respect for everyone who's ever had to deal with me, and with a little bit of regret that I didn't get to tell my friends in high school how much I care for every single one of you.
Love you.
