There are many people in your life that mean absolutely everything you to. Some of them come into your life unexpectedly and you don't imagine a world without them and the rest have been there for you all along. You go through a shit ton throughout your life and those particular people help you get through it. I am grateful for my family, the friends I made along the way, the friends who aren't apart of my life anymore, my boyfriend and his family, and so many more. To me they are more than just people, they each inspired me to keep going with the struggles I faced and currently am facing. This is dedicated to those in my life who mean the most to me.

I want to first start off by saying thank you. Thank you for being the wonderful people you are and inspiring me to do my absolute best no matter the challenges that I come across. It's hard being a teenager sometimes, not knowing what you want in your life next or where you are going and every one of you has given me the best advice a girl could ask for. What you say truly leaves a mark and I don't just throw it to the curb. I take into consideration the guidance each and everyone one of you has offered me. I thank you for not giving up on me when I seem completely impossible to help. I thank you for giving me the courage to keep moving forward in life and to never give up no matter how hard life may seem at the moment.

Thank you to my lifelong friends: Thank you for showing me what true friends are like; never give up on the person no matter how annoyed you may get, telling me I mean something to them, and always being there when I need a shoulder to cry on. I suffered through depression during my early and mid teenage years thinking I would never have any friends who would love me and support me the way I see it in movies. The depression got the best of me to the point I really didn't want to live anymore and ever since I came across my new friends, I felt nothing but happiness. They brought me out of the dark hole I was in for so long. I could actually be myself without people judging me or making fun of me behind my back. I was myself again and that took a really long time to say. Thank you for being the reason my depression has dwindled.

Thank you to my family: Oh boy, where do I even begin with my family. There is so much to thank you for, I can't even put it into words but I'll try. Thank you for being my lifeline throughout my life and never giving up when it seems like I am about to. I treasure the memories we have together and the new memories in the future. I am who I am today because of you all. We've pretty much hit rock bottom as a family on different occasions, but each time we come out stronger than we once were. I'm thankful because of you, I have such amazing cousins, aunts, and uncles who support me and love me. They too, have inspired me to keep moving forward because of the love I feel every time I see my family. My mom, my dad, and my brother, Thank you for endless laughs and the bond we have formed for the past 18 years. We may not be perfect, but perfectly imperfect. I'll love you forever, always.

Thank you to my boyfriend and his family: I've only known you all for two years but it feels like forever. You took me in as if I was your own and I am so grateful for that. Thank you for listening to me when I speak and giving me advice to stay strong. to my boyfriend, thank you for showing me love I will cherish forever. I'm a crazy nutcase sometimes and by you always sticking around, tells me you actually care. Thank you for picking up the pieces whenever they seem to fall and even when I hit my absolute worst, showing me that there is a reason to move forward. To his family, thank you for loving me and always being so caring. Thank you for taking me on such amazing adventures and letting me be apart of your family. I love you guys very much.

Thank you to those who aren't in my life anymore: Thank you for once being apart of my life and leading me to the life I have now with people who will always be there no matter what. I will always remember the times we shared even if things came to an end. My life is actually starting to become what I want it to be and the person I want to be and I thank you for having something to do with that.

Thank you to my new friends: You mean a great deal to me, you know who you are and I can't wait to make even more memorable memories with you all. Thank you for showing me a good time and letting me break out of my comfort zone a bit. I am eternally grateful for you and how much you have impacted me in such a short amount of time.

All because of you, I am who I am today and I just want to dedicate this to you all, because you each deserve a huge thank you. I love you all and I hope this makes you smile :)
