3:54AM
you find the people that are meant to be in your life whether it takes forever, or it's immediate, but no matter what, you find those people.
sometimes, the ones that are meant to stay, the ones that will always be there for you, the ones that you can most rely on, are the ones who have been there all along.
up until recently i thought maybe going to SJHS was a mistake, maybe i should have gone somewhere else, cos what had i gotten out of it?
well i found my answer.
i got a family.
i got a keebler elf, a ciggy, a susie q, an ali, and everyone else in between.
and i've realized that no matter where we all go or what we all go through, eventually our paths will always cross and will always meet and that these people, these friends, have become my family and nothing is ever going to replace that.
sure we've changed over the past few years since we've graduated & moved on with our lives.
of course we've all made new friends and had different experiences since leaving h.s.
but one thing has and always will stay the same -
these people are my family.
these people are my home.
these people are my life.
and i would never trade that.
not for the world.
it may have taken a while to see, but it was worth it.
and sure we may have had some shit times both together and apart, but it was all worth it. every minute, every step, every second - all worth it. b/c all of that is what brought us back together or made us stronger.
after tonight i realize that no matter how long i go without seeing these people, they will always be what they were back then as well - a close-knit, small, but big-hearted family.
and after everything, after all we've been through together, and all we've been through apart but been there for one another for, i could never in a million years ask for anything more.
i love you kids so much.
i just want you all to know that.
