An Open Letter To All My Friends

For all the people I will never forget.

An Open Letter To All My Friends
David Flynn

Throughout my life, I have come across many people who have a great impact on my life. They are people who I can rely on, people who I created amazing memories with, they are people I call my friends. Without these people in my life, I would probably not be the outgoing spirit I am today. I would not be as happy as I am without you guys. So here it goes, everything I have to say to all my friends:

Whether we talk on a daily basis, once every few months, or not at all; please know I still think about you and all the great times we had/have. I wonder how you are doing at school, work and just life in general. I think about the life you are building for yourself and hope you are living the life you deserve. You were and still are an important part of me and you are nothing I will ever forget. Whether we left off on bad terms or drifted apart, for whatever reason, you are still my friend.

Thank you for supporting me through stages of my life when I needed an extra boost of confidence. Thank you for making me feel free and myself whenever we were together. Thank you for being an escape from reality or the person I need/needed to vent to when reality got tough. Friends are meant to lift you up when times get hard. Thanks for being able to relate to what I have going on in my life, that way I don't feel like I am the only one.

I want you to know I am always going to be there for you no matter what. When you feel lost or alone, please know there is someone who cares for you and wants what’s best for you. Please know I do not care how long it has been since we have talked, I still love you and the person you are becoming. I treasure you and the relationship we have because that will never be lost.

Life is a rollercoaster, so how can you enjoy the ride when there is no one to enjoy it with (cheesy quote, I know). I cannot go through life giving up on friendships I have. Life is too much fun and too short to forget a person who was a monumental part of me. Thank you for being a part of the rollercoaster called life with me (yep, there was another one). Without you, I honestly don’t know how I would survive. Thank you for being a special part of me.

College is supposed to be one of the best times of your life. However, it is also one of the toughest transitions to make. There is so much anticipation and excitement leading up to moving into college. It doesn’t truly hit you until move in day when your parents say their final goodbyes and you see their car drive away. You truly are on your own. I was blessed to meet my best friends within the first week of school. Your college friends are so important and here’s why:

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
