Friends Only!
SOMEwhere between the procrastination, and the homework, and the friendships, and the calls to each other complaining about crushes... SomEwHerE b|et|wee|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*... sOmEwheRe b.et.w.ee.n all of the ch-a-n-gi--ng and gRowinG... SoMewHeRe b|et|w|een| 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 school is all about! I forgot that
pretending to be smart doesn't make you smart, and that
pretending to be happy doesn't make you happy... I forgot what it meant to cry... I forgot that you can't just forget the past in fear of the future, and I forgot that you can't control falling in love, or that you can't MAKE yourself fall in love.... I learned that I can love despite what parents and other adults say about being too young... I learned that it's OKAY to mess up, and it's OKay to ask for help, and it's O-kay to feel like shit... I learned it's o-KAY to complain and whine to all of your friends for a whole day... I learned that sometimes the things you want most you just can't have... I learned that the greatest thing about school isn't the D.a..N.cE.s or the D|RiN|KiN|G or the H-oOk-Up-S... it's the friendships, which means taking chances... I learned that sometimes the things we want to forget are the things that we need to talk about the most... I learned that letters from friends are the BEST, and that sending cards to your friends makes you feel sooo much better... but basically, I just learned that my friends... both old and new, 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...
