I feel like I finally have learned my lesson about people. If someone truly cares about you, be it a boy or a friend, they will put in the time and effort to see you and show you that they care. KJ obviously didn't have feelings for me: he never called, made plans with me, or made an effort to talk to me. Tim would go out of his way to do that sort of thing, and he was always there when I needed someone to talk to, or to make me feel better. He did all the cute things guys are supposed to do when they like you. It should have been obvious to me that he liked me, but I guess I'm kind of dense. Or I was just seeing what I wanted to see.
I've learned a lot about friends too. You shouldn't feel like you have to be a different person around your friends. And they definitely shouldn't make you cry, or talk behind your back. I always thought I had really amazing friends, that they were the type of people who would never do any of those things. But there were so many signs throughout the year that I wasn't part of the group, and I should have payed attention.
This summer showed me what true friendship is. I went to see Linda, and it was as if no time had passed since we saw each other. I love her, and I know she loves me. It's as simple as that. And I've gotten to know other people over the summer too. I'm so glad I got to know Jenny, and I wish we had become friends sooner. I always have fun when I'm with her. Same with Tim Shepard. He always cheers me up, no matter how angry or depressed I feel. You can't feel bad with someone as upbeat and cheerful as him! And of course Sarah Kehoe, who is just awesome.
I'm sad that I lost people I care about this year, but I feel like I'm a stronger person for it. Never again will I let myself beg for other people's affection. There are people who DO love me. I will be the best friend that I can be for them.
