Hey guys,

Here we are, almost through our first year of college and looking back this past year has taken us on quite a roller coaster ride. I've been looking through old pictures a lot lately and I miss all the memories we've made. High school seemed tough at first, but with the right group of friends it turned out amazing. We went through it all together; boyfriends, classes, birthdays, holidays, float buildings, homecomings, football games, Sakura runs, proms, seniors trips, right up to graduation day. You could never find one of us without another.

I know a lot has happened in the past year. We each went our separate ways. We went from seeing each other every day of the week, to not at all. Then college happened. We went our separate ways. I'm sorry we don't see each other as often as I wish we could. They say life works in funny ways and we kinda just grew apart. But I guess that's a fact of life.

But theres a few things I want you guys to know. First, Thank You. Thank you for all the amazing memories we made in high school, especially senior year. I truly don't think I would have made it through senior year without such an amazing group of friends like you. So again, thank you for all the memories. Secondly, I'm proud, proud of each of you. Although we went to different schools, we did what would be best for each of us. I'm proud of everything we've each accomplished over our first semesters of college and I'll be proud of everything else we accomplish in the next three years.

I understand we may never be able to get the same friendship back that we once had. Because inevitably we have each changed, grown, and learned a lot through these first two semesters of college. Whatever the reason I truly believe it all happens for a reason. We grew apart so we could be given different opportunities to learn and grow and who knows, maybe it was for the best. No matter what I'll always be around if you ever need me, promise.

Just thought I should pay my respects to the good old days.

Dedicated to my high school friend group. You guys know who you are. xx
