I will always wish the best for you.
I remember your hopes, dreams, ambitions. And I will ALWAYS wish you achieve all of that. I hope that everything you wish for, or work towards, you succeed in. That whatever obstacles may come your way, you overcome, in the best way possible. I hope that you get your degree, or reach that goal of whatever you decide to do with your life. That no matter how long, or difficult the journey is, you get there safely, and happy. I want nothing less than for you to achieve EVERY goal you set for yourself, now and in the future. I pray that if college doesn't turn out to be your journey, that you find it. And that no matter the criticism, or hatred, you may receive for going a different route in life. But mostly, and most importantly, I hope, and pray, that no matter what you decide to do, or don't do, you are completely, and wholeheartedly happy.
Don't let people put you or your dreams down.
Whether your dream is getting a degree, joining the military, going straight into the work force, or starting a family, I wish you go for it and ignore the haters. I pray that you have the support that you need to never give up, or get discouraged. I hope that with whatever you decide to do, you're doing it because YOU want to, and not because someone is making you. And that you do it with all your heart, because doing something without heart is no fun, and doesn't make you happy.
I pray you succeed. No matter how long, or how many obstacles, you encounter.
If it takes you minutes, weeks, or years, so be it. But don't settle, don't settle for less because you think "other people my age are already doing this, or aren't doing this". WHO CARES. If this were the case, no one would be where they are today. Some people find their passions within hours, some take years. You should not base your timeline off someone else's success. Everyone has their own obstacles, issues, ways of doing things. There's a reason no two people were made exactly the same. If this were the case, everyone in the world would be successful. Only YOU know what works for you, and whatever that may be, I pray that you are okay with it, and reach your goal.
No matter what made us stop being friends, know your secrets will always be safe with me. Just because we're not friends, doesn't mean the best friend code is out. It is ALWAYS in effect. I will take your secrets TO MY GRAVE. So don't ever worry about "oh we're not friends, she might tell everyone everything now", NO, these lips? Sealed. And I can only hope you feel, and do the same.
Just because we're not friends anymore, doesn't mean you can't still come to me.
We've all had these types of situations, there's that on person that you always go to about a certain situation, and at some point (hopefully never though), they are unavailable. For some, it may be the ONE person you told this specific thing to, and now, they're gone. If we just simply fell off, or didn't go our separate ways on bad terms, don't hesitate to come to me. Don't worry, especially if I KNOW I am this one person for you, I will always be available. We may not be the best of friends anymore, but I know you still need to vent that ONE specific issue.
I miss you.
There's been times where I went to text you, or walk up to you, or send you a tweet that reminded me of you. And then I realized, I can't do that anymore. And I don't think anything has hit as hard as that moment, where I realized you weren't there anymore, that I couldn't just text you this funny meme that reminded me of you. These moments, hurt the most. But they're reminders. Reminders that no matter what happened between us, you had an impact on my life that will always effect me. And for some, this thought, haunts us. Because it's like no matter what I may do, say, or see, a part of me will always miss, or think about you. But then I can also remember how much I've grown, or what I overcame to get where I am today. And missing people is okay. Being sad about something that is no longer there is okay. Be sad, miss that person, then remember who you are. Because whatever happened, brought you to where you are today. You learned from it, and grew into a better person.
Thank you.
Lastly, and probably most importantly, thank you. Thank you for everything that I learned during our friendship, however long or short it was. Thank you for helping me grow into the person I am today. Thank you for the memories you left me. Thank you for supporting me in whatever I did, and being my personal cheerleader, my coach, etc during our friendship. Thank you for being a milestone in my life that helped me get to where I am today, for helping mold me into the person I am. And also most importantly, I pray that you succeed, no matter what you decide to do with you life. Whatever you decide your path in life is, I hope you love whatever you end up doing, wholeheartedly.
And this is everything I want my ex-friends to know.
