Thoughts of You, That You Should Know
To start off:
Laura: I can't thank you enough for what you've done for me. You have been nothing but a sister to me. You helped proved to me that I'm okay without Dan and that life does go on. You've given me so many reasons to just be proud of life and just appreciate it every day. Meeting you was fate, becoming friends with you was choice, looking up to you as a sister, priceless. Every day I'm with you is another day that I know life isn't just about school, work and boys. It's about having friends that will be there for you through thick and thin and won't mind a phone call at 3 in the morning, just because you couldn't sleep. You've showed and proven to me what it means to be a friend and have one in return. Without you, I wouldn't be so positive as I have been. I can't thank you enough for coming into my life and I can't put into words exactally what our friendship means to me. Thank you for being you and most of all, thank you for loving me as me.
Daniel: We met, hung out, you asked me out, how could I not say yes. You have an adorable face, and an awesome personality. We dated for a month, and I got all psycho and crazy after you dumped me, but it was just because you ignored me and pissed me off. Thank you, for giving me the chance to prove to you that I'm really not psychotic and that I can be a friend. I can be a nice, caring, sweet person, but you also have to help out on that. You and I went through a lot within that month of dating and even after we broke up. You and I agreed on a clean plate, friendship rules, and leaving it at that and being happy. I do know that being friends with you is making it easier for me to let go of what we had and how much feeling I had for you. But then again, being with you woke me up to a lot of things I was oblivious too. Thank you for being the wake up call I needed. Thank you for being a caring enough person to let things work themselves out, but most of all, thank you for making me realize what I really felt inside and that I'm stronger for getting through what you and I went through. Most of all, thank you for being you.
Julie: I've known you since 8th grade. You and I have been through a lot since then. Fights causing us to stop talking, one of us apologizing for the fight even though we both completely forgot what we were fighting over. So many memories, so many fun times. I'll never forget them. Here we are, sophomores in college and still friends who go out and laugh and have a blast every time even when there's nothing to do. The summer when I was dating Ry and broke my wrist, you were my ride around, but I didn't mind it too much, I was spending time with my love at the time, and one of my great friends. Thanks for the memories and thanks for the years of friendship. I hope many more to come and as our sophomore year closes in, and with me leaving this September may our friendship still stay strong and many more memories occur. I'll never forget you Julie. Best wishes in all you do. You only deserve the best.
Ryan: We met through Sal. We went out on our first date. Between the hours of 8pm-12am, we did a lot that night. Dinner, Pool, Boardwalk, and Movies. Tell me how that happened, I'm not exactally sure. We dated for 16 months and it was the best 16 months of my life. It taught me a lot. I grew up a lot and I gain some self-confidence through you. We had our share of fights, and our share of laughter and everything else that boyfriends and girlfriends go through. Most of all, I grew up mentally because of you. Some things happened that I thought you'd never forgive me for, and I broke things off, because I saw no point in trying to gain something I was never going to get back anyway. Then I got into a relationship faster than I had anticipated and that relationship was great at first, then after the break up, I realized a lot of stuff. Mainly, the one thing that made me happy for 16 months was now the one thing I missed the most in my life. I miss you, and I miss what you and I had. I miss the stuff we shared together but most of all, I missed the piece of my heart that has and always will belong to you. You made everything okay. You mended the holes and cracks in my heart, and you helped to shape me. You did what you could to get me to believe that I was beautiful and worth more than I could imagine. You showed to me that I was worth more than I thought I was. You showed me the world, and placed everything I could ever ask for, in front of me. I thank you for the memories and I thank you for coming into my life. Most of all, I thank you for loving me as much as you did, or still do. I thank you for sticking around, even after we broke up. I thank you most of all, for letting me see the true me.
Kelly: We met in high school. We were the best of friends and closer than I could ever imagine. I dated Rich and our friendship hit a rock at that point. Then things got better. Then I dated Ry and gave up all my friends to be with him. Do I regret that now, yes, but shit happens right? Then you started dating Ron and with me working all the time, going to college and seeing Ry, I lost track of my life and I lost a friend I wish I never lost. You and I talk occasionally every once in a while, but I miss the every day, calling to see what each other is up to. I miss the times we had and the laughs we had. I received the card you sent me for Christmas and cried. Not because it was sweet or anything, but just because it was from you and I miss you more than I could ever write or show you. I've missed a lot of stuff with you within the past year. This is a new year, and although I started it off bad with this accident, I'm going to make it right in the end. I'm hoping, with help from you, that I can find time to hang out with you and create undying memories with you again. Spend time with the one I was so close to for 2 years. Hang out with you and catch up on what we've missed in each other's lives the past year. I just want to get that closeness that we once had. It's going to take a while to gain that all back, even after not seeing you so much within the past year, but I'm hoping with effort from both of us, that we can get that back. I love you Kelly Ann Burns, and you'll always have a place in my heart, because you mean that much to me. Thank you for the friendship we have/had, and thank you for the memories we created together. Saliva always, A.D.I.D.A.S. forever!
Anthony: You are one person I must say I miss the most. We hung out all the time, saw each other all the time. Then it got to occasionally and now it's hardly ever. I fell for you and started getting feelings for you wayyyyyy back when, and then lost them when I stopped seeing you and hanging around you. We still have a friendship and I don't think I'd ever gain the feelings I had for you back, because I know things are different. But when I did have feelings for you, I could of made you happy, I could have made things different in your life. . .I was just never given the chance. I accept that I'm not your "type" of girl, and that you didn't see me in that way, but I could have done more than you know. I'm capable of doing things people wouldn't think I could do, if given the chance. You say you miss me and that you miss the times we had. Part of it's my fault, yes. . . but also, part of that is your fault. We both have to take the blame when it comes to that. You say you've found a girl and that you don't want to rush things with her because you want to see where things go, but what ever happened to giving the shy girl a chance. . . you give chances to others, but the one that sits right in front of you, you're oblivious too. I miss you and I miss hanging with you. Things will change this year, but hopefully, you won't. Hopefully you'll still be the Anthony I know you to be. Best of luck with your album, and don't forget, I want a copy.
Last but not least,
Monique: Wow. Have we had some amazing times or what?! Summer '04 will forever stay in my mind and heart. You and I learned to be each other's life support this summer. We had laughs, inside jokes, and created memories that will never be forgotten. VBT forever. Gangplank "gangbang" hotel. Parties, boys, seaside. Always a good time with you. Causin' trouble, being nosey, being bitchy, being sweet. Lots of good times. You've left an imprint on my heart forever and I'm going to miss you. You are leaving me in March, and I'm leaving in September for school. You'll be back in September and I'll be leaving. Will I come home, most likely, just because I miss my mom or my friends. I don't really have much to say but thanks for the memories and thanks for being my life support all summer long. Without you, I wouldn't be who I am today. You've helped me change and grow. Although it may not seem like it, but you have. Good luck in March, and write to me, let me know how you're doing. I'll miss you my VBT.
That's what I needed to say to a few people. If you're not listed, don't take it personally. The people listed have made some kind of impact on me, which is why they are here. If you are my friend and are in my life, doesn't mean I don't appreciate our friendship, just I haven't grown close to you as I have others.
