Friends. :)

    I wanted to post this last night, but of course, my internet wasn’t working. I realized today how much happier and better off I am since I met my amazing friends that I have now, and embraced my inner nerd and awkwardness. I know I’ve always been awkward and silly. But until I met my current friends, I tried to fit in with other people, and tried to be like them because I just wanted to belong. In middle school, and I’ll probably post an entire back story on it,  I pretty much just did whatever everyone else did because I wanted friends, because at the time, I was having a lot of family trouble and I needed friends. But looking back on it, until 8th grade, I only had two real friends, and that was Kaitlin and Brittney. In eighth grade when I met, well I’d met them before, but became friends with Sara, Elizabeth, Paige, and Dylan is when I realized that they liked me because of who I was. Not because of who I was trying to be to fit in with them. I never tried to be someone else with them, not once. (I never did with Kaitlin either, and Brittney I’ve known since I was born.) I’ve always been able to tell them exactly how I feel without worrying. And I can’t tell you guys how much that means to me. When I sit in class, in front of Sally, who I wanted to be friends with at one point, and hear what she says in Honors English, and I get excited that I get to read a new book and think about it, I wonder how different I’d be if we hadn’t had Mr. Holt’s class together(besides Paige and Elizabeth, but Paige sat with us at lunch, and I don’t really remember when I became good friends with Elizabeth.) I think I would’ve turned out a lot more ignorant, because you guys are so much more mature than everyone our age. I think we all are. We’ve realized that high school matters because it gets us to college, and that definitely matters. We all actually try and don’t piss and moan every time we get an assignment.
You guys are there for me anytime I need you. Even when I’ve made a huge stupid decision, you ride it out with me. Or when I just need to vent about the idiots that I’ve come in contact with that day. I know that sometimes I’m hard to get along with, and have made horrible decisions when it comes to guys, but y’all are always, always, there no matter what. I can’t even begin to thank you or tell you how much I love y’all. You all deserve your own post because I love you all in different and awesome ways, and you just might get it, but for now, thank you and I love y’all so much!!!

Hearts and amazing friends. :)
