Oh...the memories!

I decided it was high time I cleaned my room. Really. It's that bad. My desk is cluttered...and I can hardly reach my bed. Dang all this crap! While cleaning, I found some awesome stuff. Change...books...movies I never knew I even bought. LoL.

...and my High School yearbooks...

I know, what you're thinking. It's the end of the year...time to sit back and think about the past year...yadda yadda yadda. That's coming later.

You know, I hardly talk to any of my high school friends. When I graduated, I moved on. Closed that chapter in my life. I'm over high school and all the drama that goes with it. I got a job...made new friends. A lot of people I used to know found me on MySpace, and I've exchanged words with them, but that's it. Nothing more. However, there is on friend that up and disappeared from my life...and I still dont know why.

We met in the 9th grade. We have the same birthday, so we were insta-friends. BEST friends until graduation. That was the last time I saw her. I tried calling...but she never accepted my calls.

I love hindsight. It's always 20/20. I think that for some reason, she came into my life when I needed her. Or when she needed me. And she left as quickly as she came in. I thought we'd be best friends forever. I'm so glad we arent friends anymore. I've had to come into my own since she departed. I'm so much "cooler" than I was in high school. I cultivated my personality because I had to. I had to stand out. I'm not in her shadow anymore! That's the best part about it.

I live in a completely different state than I did in high school. I'm not even close to anyone I knew then. I've got some of the greatest friends ever, and I'm so thankful for them.

C.- She's been my rock. She's made me laugh when I needed her...and she's listened to me. She's the greatest person I know thus far. I love her.

R.- She entered my life early this year, and I hope she's here for many more. She's my...well...she gets me when no one else does. I dont have to say anything, and she knows. I look at her, and she can read my looks because she gives me the same ones. :0)

Those are the only two people (other than my family) that I'm extremely thankful for. They've kept me sane. Yeah...it's quality, not quantity.

I'm glad I'm almost grown up (yeah...still not completely grown up). I'm glad my family is here to support me, and to encourage me through everything. Good and bad. I'm so thankful that they help me cultivate my talents...improve them...become successful with them.

I really have a great life (even though it sucks sometimes).
