Appreciation blog (more midnight thoughts)…
So today, I was feeling rather low. I went to work, tried to forget about everything, and then went home. Upon arriving home, now free of distractions, I became low again.
Eventually, my very good friend, Eden, called me up (we were supposed to be hanging, but he was running late), and we both discussed our mutual feelings of woe.
So, I went and picked him up, and I took a midnight stroll at the waterfront with my best friend, Eden, and my dog, Rosie.
We didn’t need to talk, thats how it always is with us. We just like being there for each other, we care for each other.
It doesn’t make sense to me how we are so close, but I know that he means a lot to me.
And before anyone says anything, no, we are not romantically involved. Completely platonic.
But I do love him, very, very much, as my best friend.
I hope one day he understands how much he means to me; how much it means to me that he cares; and how much I just want him to be happy.
(This is me and Eden on prom night, best secret-turned-not-so-secret prom date, ever. Also, we both look very different now.)
Anyway,
I just wanted to make an appreciation blog to all of my friends out there who have been there for me; who have seen me laugh, cry, fall, and pick myself back up (usually with their help). Who has helped me grow and be the person I am. Who have given me smiles, memories and hope.
I hope I am as good to you as you are to me. I can never thank you enough.
This goes out to:
Eden: there’s not much I can say that I haven’t already said. I can’t believe its only been seven months. You are the best friend I could ever have, and I thank the higher powers every day that I got to become your best friend. Thank you for absolutely everything; for a shoulder to cry on, for the best memories, for the most comforting hugs, and the best inside jokes, and so much more. You are one of a kind, and (don’t let this get to your head or anything) you’re really, truly, quite brilliant (see what I did there?).
“What is a good friend?
A single soul dwelling in two bodies.”

Latara: ahh! I don’t think we’ve really ever sat down and told each other sentimental crap. But here it goes: you are more than a best friend to me, you are my sister. I know we’ve had our ups and downs, but doesn’t every family? I’m so happy that you came to my school and we got to meet. You’ve given me the best memories (i’m relishing in them) and you are always so wonderful to me. You’re such an interesting person and I’m so stoked at how much we have in common. You’ve taught me how to be happy, and how to be strong. Thank you so much for everything you’ve ever done for me.
Haley: for always being the sweetest person alive; making me smile whenever you are around, ESPECIALLY if I don’t want to; for always showing that you cared; and for sharing my love of Mr K.
Carolyn & Kirsten: for both being such sweethearts, loving and caring and kind hearted people; for giving me such good memories and for always giving me a shoulder when I needed one (and even when I didn’t).
Jen: for dealing with all of my shit ever since we were in Kindergarten, and always being one step ahead of me. I will forever be indebted to you.
Chris: for always making me smile, even when I didn’t want to. You are actually a big softie(but don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone), and I thank you for every happy moment i’ve had because of you.
Chelsey: for being the most wonderful friend for my entire life, even if we don’t see each other that much — it’s always so easy and fun to catch up, and I honestly wish we did it more often.
Charly: what can I say that I don’t already tell you every day? You are an absolutely wonderful person inside and out — truly beautiful. For always being my go-to person for everything, and actually caring about it.
Cote, Mat, and Robin: for always listening to my girl problems and pretending to care. You give some of the best hugs.
Brandon: I’m sad that we aren’t as close as we used to be, but you’re my brother, and I know you will always be there for me (and vise versa). Thank you for always bringing me ginger ale when I’m sick, hugging me when I cried, and threatening to hurt the boys who hurt me.
Katelyn: ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Theres so much, I don’t even know where to start. Thank you for a lifetime of everything. Thank you for teaching me to stick up for myself. Also, I will never forget the chocolate milk.
Damien: my wonderful “husband.” You are my teddy bear, and I love just being able to come see you just for a hug and a “meow.” You know you will always be my number one.
Jessika: you are such a true soul. Thank you for always lifting my spirits and being so sweet. I love getting sentimental with you, and I love how wonderful you are.
Kyle D: Thank you for always making me smile with your wit and charm. You are one of a kind.
And to: Jimmy, Mekenzie, Stephanie, Kylie, Kat, AQuann, Mike D & all of my Camp buddies, Kelly, Todd, Lacey, Melly, Laura, Andy. Misha, Andrew, Crystal, Ben, Travis, NDP, all of my football stalkers buddies, and everyone else that has given me memories to hold on to!
