and the <\/font>incessant forwards<\/b><\/font>…..<\/font>and jobs<\/font>….<\/font>and the<\/font> <\/font>friendships<\/font>….. and the <\/font>calls <\/font>to each other complaining about<\/font> <\/font>crushes!!<\/font>…… Somewhere<\/font> b e t w e e n<\/b><\/font> the<\/font> <\/font>phone calls<\/b><\/font> <\/font>to <\/font>old friends<\/b><\/font>…..<\/font><\/b> <\/font>And the<\/font> <\/font>“I miss you’s”<\/font>, the<\/font> <\/font>“I love you’s”<\/font>……. And the <\/font>“What are we doing tonight’s?”<\/u><\/i><\/font>….. And somewhere <\/font>b e t w ee n<\/b><\/font> all of the <\/font>changing<\/font>,<\/font>growing<\/font>… Somewhere <\/font>b e t w e e n <\/font>the <\/font>classes<\/b><\/font>…….. And the <\/font>skipping classes<\/font>…… And the <\/font>studying for tests<\/u><\/i><\/font>…….And the <\/font>pretending to study for tests<\/b><\/font>……. And the downright <\/font>NOT studying for tests<\/b><\/font>… I forgot.<\/b>……… I forgot what <\/font>life <\/font>is all about. I forgot what it meant to <\/font>cry<\/i><\/font>……. I forgot that <\/i><\/font>pretending<\/b><\/font><\/i> to be <\/font>happy <\/font>doesn’t make you happy<\/font>……….. And that <\/font>pretending <\/i><\/b><\/font>to be <\/font>smart <\/font>doesn’t make you <\/font>smart <\/font>………… I forgot that <\/font>you can’t just forget the past<\/i><\/b><\/font> in <\/font>fear of the future<\/font>………. I forgot that<\/font> <\/font>you can’t control falling in love<\/b><\/font>……….. And that <\/font>you can’t make yourself fall in love.<\/b><\/font>………. I learned that <\/font>I can love.<\/u><\/i><\/font>…….. I learned that it’s <\/font>okay to mess up<\/b><\/font>……… And it’s <\/font>okay to ask for help<\/b><\/font>……… And it’s okay to feel like <\/font>crap<\/b><\/font>……… I learned it’s <\/font>okay to complain and whine to all your friends for a whole day<\/b><\/font>…….. <\/font>I learned that sometimes the things you want most<\/font> <\/font>you just can’t have<\/u><\/i><\/b><\/font>. I learned that the greatest things in life are not the <\/font>parties<\/b><\/font> or the <\/font>DRiNKiNG<\/b><\/font> <\/font><\/b>or the <\/font>hook-ups<\/b><\/font>… It’s the <\/font>friendships<\/b><\/font>, which means <\/font>taking chances<\/font>…….. <\/font>I learned that sometimes the things we want to forget are the things which we most need <\/font>to talk about<\/i><\/font>………. I learned that <\/font>letters from friends<\/font> are the<\/font> most important things<\/font>.<\/font>And that <\/font>sending cards<\/u><\/i><\/b><\/font> to your friends makes <\/font>you feel better<\/u><\/i><\/b><\/font>. <\/font>But, basically, I just learned that my friends<\/u><\/i><\/font>…….. Both <\/font>o l d<\/b><\/font> <\/font><\/b>and <\/font>new<\/i><\/font>.<\/font>…….. Are<\/font> <\/font>the most important people to me in the world<\/u><\/b><\/font>.<\/font> AND…….<\/font>without them, I wouldn’t be who I am today<\/font>….. So this is a <\/font>thank you<\/i><\/b><\/font> to <\/font>all of my friends.<\/font> . <\/font>For always being there. And even if we’re not on good terms or we have lost touch… I still care for you. <\/p>\n
