Hey Old Friends,

I hope life is treating all of you well. I hope all of you have found people at your schools that you connect with. I know it's been a long time since we all talked. Two years to be exact. I still have yet to comprehend the reason. I guess the answer is just simply it's a part of life, people move on and begin to find a new crowd or a new group of friends. What bothers me most about this situation is there was no actual explanation, there was no confrontation, it would be easier to come to terms with if there was a reason. I didn't imagine that we all would lose touch but I understand it happens and it's only logical we may lose touch since we all go to different schools and some go to schools in other states.

I can't believe its already been two years since high school. I can't kept help but occasionally flip though my yearbook to remind me of the good times. As I read the messages you all wrote, all the messages end the same way, "I hope we stay in touch" now as I read that I realize that was a complete utter lie. It does not make me upset, it just makes me wish we can go back in time. To the days in which I would have conversations with each one of you everyday; discussing our thoughts about going to college or laughing about our inside jokes. Although, I may not speak to any of you anymore, I still have the memories. I look through old photos when I am missing my close circle of friends or I may pass by a store or listen to a song that reminds me of one of you.

Thanksgiving break just passed and I seen a lot of my friends but it reminds me of you all as well. I wish we could of all met up just like old times but I always stop myself from initiating a conversation because I tell myself it's way too late. I may just be speaking for myself, but I think that's the problem with all of us, it's not that we don't want to talk but that it's been so long so we all assume it's too late now. However that's where we are all wrong, I think this is when we all need each other for advice or laughs because we all known each other for an immense amount of time.

Even though we all lost touch now, I want to say thank you. Thank you for the endless laughs, pictures, and memories. Thank you for getting me though four years of high school. For the majority of people, high school was not exactly a time period that most want to be reminded of. In my case, high school was somewhere that I felt comfortable and content and I knew I was surrounded by a good group of friends.

All I can say at this point is I wish you all the best with your future endeavors. I wish you all stay as content and ambitious as you all were in high school. If there is ever a day where you feel like talking again, I am still here. You may be thinking that it will be uncomfortable, but don't worry because we are still friends no matter the amount of time that has passed.

Sincerely,

Your friend Michelle
