It's funny how much different things are now. I mean, we've only been out of high school for five years now, yet everything seems to have hit us pretty quickly. Some of us are married or engaged to be married. Some of us have kids. Some of us are blessed enough to have had both of these things happen to us. Things are so different than where they were five years ago. We don't even keep in touch with each other much these days. Not only are our lives so busy these days with our various goings-on, but we just completely lost touch. I'm letting you guys know this now, that I'm perfectly OK.

I know over the years that some of you have worried about me (if you even thought about me at all). Let's be honest here, shall we? I've worried about some of you, but as for everyone else, I'm not going to pretend to care about what most of you think. I really don't care anymore. The only reason I'm writing this letter to all of you is because I want you to know that even though my life doesn't seem to be as complete as everyone else's has become over the years, I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be. No, I'm not married. In fact, I'm not even dating anyone. I have no children. I have two dogs that I love more than anything, and those are my kids right now. My guitar is my baby right now. I don't need anything else. I have my family and my new friends, my dogs, God and my guitar. I don't need anything else. Whatever happens happens, and when my time comes for my life to move forward, it will.

I'm happy for each of you. I'm happy that your lives have progressed and that you're done with school and are getting married and having kids. I'm happy for you. Just know that it's not for me right now. Yes, I'm ready for that and I'm waiting for it, but it's not on my time that it'll happen. It's on God's time, and His timing is always perfect. For now, I'll be content with music and acting. I know that I'm on the right path and that everything will come in due time. I'm working toward what has been my goal since I was 12 and saw Aiden live on the Warped Tour mainstage. I'm going to be a rock star.

I'll see each of you in five more years at our high school reunion. You'll be there with your husbands. I'll be there with my guitar, and I'll be doing the same thing I was doing in high school: retreating in a corner to write. I'm OK. I'll always be OK. I always pull through. I've learned to stand on my own. So don't worry about me. I'm fine.
