I have made so many close friends the past 19 years of my life. Some have stayed and some have gone. And for those who have left, you are still on my mind. And to those who have stayed, I cannot thank you enough. And to those who know me but don’t want to be involved with me anymore, so be it. You were there for me, and you took the time to get to know me. That’s all I need, is just someone there, even if it was only for a little bit. You know me inside out and all my stories, you enjoy my sense of humor or at least I hope you pretend to. And you just know me. And to those who chose to leave, I hope I made somewhat of an impression on you, because you’ve made one on me. Even if we aren’t close anymore, you’ll remain as a beautiful imprint on my mind, body and soul.

And to those who have stayed, first off, I hope you don’t leave. I’m cheesy, sappy and I like making stupid jokes about stupid things. You deal with it, but you don’t seem to mind it. And if I’m lucky, it makes you laugh, and to me, that’s love. Showing someone that you respect them and adore them all at once, it’s a different form of love. There are so many different types of love, but that’s most definitely my favorite. It shows me that the world is not as bad as I sometimes view it. Everyone needs a group of people who know them like the back of their hands, besides themselves. It's self-assuring, and it’s the little voice in your head telling you that everything is okay, and that if life seems dark and scary, that there is a select few that will be there to loan you a flashlight.

To all, with love and hugs and kisses, too, hoping everything is well.

Yours truly,

Paige

P.S. You know who you are.
