So I thought I would update:

I have had a lot of up's and downs in my life. I have always suppressed most of my feelings. I am always in fear that what I might say to others might drive away the people that are around me. So that fear has driven me to be the quiet person that I am. I have always wanted the popular person, the one that people wanted

You know what I've realized having been one of those people who try and go outside myself and change myself so that I will be more well liked and I can fit in with the popular people. It's NOT WORTH LOSING THE REAL YOU. In the end the more you try the further you get from being liked because you portray yourself in a way that people don't recognize you, the real you disappears. All that's left is this fake impression of a person striving to be something different from themselves. be comfortable with yourself and you will find friends who are like you and comfortable with themselves and they will be better friends than any of the people you thought you needed to change to impress or fit in with.

You're a very sweet guy and you are very personable. Someone told me once that "You will never find the PERFECT friend" That is a very true statement every friend is gonna fail from time to time. Don't write everyone off so quick there's a chance that there is so much going on in their lives they can't mentally handle helping you at this point in time. I understand the frustration with people who don't support you the way you support them. There have probably been or will be times when you aren't able to help them either, and hopefully they won't write you off when that time comes and just say Fuck you. I don't want you to take this the wrong way, don't put up with people who are consistantly wronging you, but I've been there and I've written everyone off before, and it's not necessarily the best way to approach that kind of problem.

Life doesn't get easier, but you learn to tolerate it anyway.

You right in everyway but I just want to make it clear that I don't expect people to be perfect and for them to be there every waking moment. However, I just want people to care about my feelings instead of just themselves because a lot of people around me just care about themselves. But you're right, life doesn't get easier you just have to tolerate it. Thanks! ~mike~

i love my buddies---Chelle, you are so right on. mikey, what did i tell you!? She's awesome..

PS---Mikey, I love you more today than I did the day we met. Everyday I love you more. You are my hero, my best friend, and my biggest fan. You light up my life and give me hope to carry on....never forget that. I can only hope that I can bring a fraction of the love you've brought into my life back to you. I love you and I miss you--take care of yourself. ;0) d
