So I graduated. What an amazing time! Getting to move on and do what I want to do! no more books! No more perfectly assigned classes! For a while at least until I get off my mission, but that's the thing about graduation that I've come to hate: everyone moving away.
Until my senior year I never had solid friends. I've had friends that never really stayed more than a school year or no friends at all, but this past year I have made the most amazing friends I could ever have! you know who you are, guys. I love them so much! yeah we each have had our rough spots in our friendships but I still love them! you have taught me in one school year what a real friend is. you have taught me who I can trust, how to trust, how to have fun and so many other things!
All of this is coming to end it seems, though. Some are moving away, some are still in school. and now I'm afraid to be alone again. I'm afraid that I'll never find you guys again or anyone that has treated me as well as you have. Nobody can be you. you each have a special place in my heart that I can love and cherish each of you, but what comes with that is pain. pain and fear of losing what we have as friends. afraid of losing connection and not having the great support I have gotten from you guys this past year.
Now that I'm Graduated it's strange to see everything change in an instant: friends hurting one another more than before, friends moving away, friends leaving to do what I am planning on doing myself and serving a mission. it seems as if you guys all have made me better than you know.
Each smile, each joke, hug, laugh, playful fight, sassing, service to and from each other, and the love you all have given me this past year I will never forget. they High School is the greatest time of your lives. well they are wrong because it is not High school that has been the greatest part of my life, but my friends. I will never forget any of you. In my mind you are a select group. you are small but mighty in my eyes. as we move on with our lives I will miss you guys. this is not a final goodbye because I know I will see you all again, but I will miss you guys because of all you have done for me in one year that I wish I could have had for many years before.
Thank you for all you do for me. thank you for making me better. stronger, more loving, kind, and outgoing. You are all the best of friends I will ever need in life. Thank you for the memories, even if they weren't so great. thank you so much because I will look back on all the memories I have of each of you and I will think of you as the leaders of my life: the proud, the bold, the few, the amazing friends of honor.
I love you all once again. DON'T DIE! Stay Frosty. and just be you in all you do.
