You saved me from the endless days, and the loneliness of silence. You saved me from the sadness of missing something that brings a sense of fullness to oneself. You instilled a sense of freedom back into my life. And, I want to thank you.
This is for those who stretched out their arms and saved me from becoming the type of person I feared most- pessimistic, angry, and unhappy. It is for the ones who lit the dull spark in my soul. This is for the ones who live their lives to make others feel alive.
I never thought that I would meet a variety of different people that all have a brightness in them that knows how to rekindle the spark that was turned off inside of me. Before transferring schools I had my friends from home that gave me a reason to keep going, but once I got to Aquinas College, it all changed. Each and every person I have crossed paths with in the last three months have given me a reason to feel alive again. You all have given me a purpose, and you have made my free spirited soul re-blossom.
I cannot explain the importance of having people like you in my life. Your support is endless, you believe in yourselves and in me. You cheer me on during the good times and comfort me during the difficult times. You understand me in ways I will never understand myself and my world is forever changed for the better because of that.
I am lucky that you all came into my life when you did because it was during a time that felt dark and lonely. I was hoping for days to fly by, but they only ever seemed to drag out. You put a stop to that the moment you opened up to me and demanded that I noticed all of the good, friendly people in the world. You forced me to see the light again. You saved me from the horror of feeling worthless in a world of worthy people.
I now see what my purpose in this life is because of you. I see all of the possibilities I have in this world because of all of your beautiful, kind hearts reaching out and pulling me up from the very bottom. I see how much I have to offer, and how much of a difference all of you are going to make in this world. So, when you feel like no one is there cheering you on, know that I will never forget how you saved me from a life I did not want to be a part of, and that I will never stop cheering on the best for you.
