To All My Yous That Had Value,

Take this into consideration: You matter. Whether you are my best friend or my worst enemy, you still had value in my life. You were one of the many You's that I invested my time into and clearly there’s a reason for it. Clearly you impacted me some way and that’s why I was wrapped up into you.

All of you are a chapter in my life that I would never take back. Sure some of you, may hurt me. But some of you have changed me and taught me how to grow up. Some of you are a part of the support system that wants me to do nothing but succeed. Within those some of you, I’ve had some of the worst possible downfalls in my life, yet none of you chose to terminate our relationship because of it. So for all the yous that fall under that category, I truly thank you.

I truly wouldn’t be standing here today if it wasn’t for a lot of you. And whenever I think about any of you, I know I made the right choice. I know that I would never regret any of you for a second and that all of you are still here for a reason. Yes, I may be unsure of the reason why some of you are here, but I know someday, I’m going to find it, but for now, I’m fine with not knowing and enjoying your presence.

For those of you that may not be in my life anymore, I still remember you in the back of my mind. I know you may think I haven’t because god knows how long it’s been since we talked, but really, I have more than you know. I think about how one little fall out with some of you is what caused a complete and utter end to our communication, and honestly, that’s okay and I know it’s all for the best. Even if I may of have the biggest fight in the world with some of you or ended up not being fond of you, I never hated you.

Far too often, I say how I regret being close to her or getting involved with him, but truthfully, I don’t have a right to. I cannot regret texting you because you meant something. I cannot regret liking you because I was the one who got attached. And I cannot regret associating myself with you because you have guided me through something at some point. Maybe I may not know who any of you guys are anymore, but I know I invested myself in you, and I can’t keep telling myself that it was a mistake just because we didn’t end on good terms. I know we cannot all like each other because it just doesn’t work that way, and it’s not fair for me to be mad at any of you about that. There’s a reason why all of you were only a chapter of my life in a still being written book, and who knows if you any of you will make another appearance. So yes I put everything thing I had into you, and no, I wouldn’t take it back.

This is directed to all of the yous I put everything I had into, every single one of you, so listen closely: I’ve learned from all of you and have felt appreciated from most of you at some point. I was devoted to all of you, friends, family, and boys because you matter. And that doesn’t change. Even if our relationship may of changed, the value you have/had to me does not. For those of you who aren’t here anymore, neither of us have the right to hate each other. And more than anything, I hope you can take in this perspective into consideration too.

Sincerely,

A Girl That Knows You Matter(ed)
