Dear Friends,

These last few of weeks have been hectic. Schoolwork and extracurricular activities have consumed me.

The stress of the semester has been overtaking all of us. The arguments we had were unnecessary and caused by a web of miscommunication.

I've always been a person who values directness, but I understand that much of the miscommunication we had was unintended. I can feel the tension around our battles wearing off, but I wanted to leave this letter for you all in order to start anew, all miscommunications pushed aside.

Let's forget everything.

I mean, I know that all can't be forgotten. Things have been said on all sides, and I apologize for all my overreactions and harsh responses.

So I guess what I should say is, let's forgive everything. I want to move forward, because when I see each of you I can't help but smile.I don't want to pass you all and feel like I can't say hello, or have fear to ask any of you out to lunch.

I am missing the closeness we had and the common bonds we shared. I know that I distanced myself, but when I am hurt I am in retreat. I have reflected and now am coming in front of you as humbly as I can while recognizing each of us holds some responsibility for our issues.

Let's not hash out all the details. I don't want to be a burden with a long letter, and I don't want to slew out what will sound like a long list of excuses for my actions.

I don't want to make any excuses. I want to be upfront. I want to be blunt. I have had some long conversations with some of you explaining my hurt -- which ran deep. I am aware that I caused deep hurt in return, which is, to a large extent, inexcusable.

But, dear friends, to make my point I'll say what I suppose is the most important thing, perhaps the thing I should've begun with... I love all of you.

I don't want to lose any more time with all you wonderful, insane individuals who I am lucky to call my friends. Let's get together soon!
