There's only pictures hung in the shadows left to look at you

A couple days ago I texted my wife a that I missed sleeping next to her. That was the day that Jai left. I thought sleeping next to Jai would be weird-like I was cheating on Mia-but it wasn't. It was strangely comforting. I think that Jai is the closest thing I have to a best friend (Nin was surprised that I don't consider Mia my best friend because hers is Liyah)

I only see her twice a year but we're still the same best friends every time we see each other. I was telling Mia that me and Jai have been friends for as long as I can remember. I think that's what makes our friendship so special-also I've never been shipped with her. It's amazing to have a 100% platonic friend. (As in I've never been shipped with her or cuddled with her or anything)

I hate June, but I'm so tired of hearing about bad things on this app, so I'm trying to stay on the positive side. I feel bad for not being able to see my friends for most of summer, so I want to let them know that I still think about them and appreciate them.

Ari, I legitimately see you as a son I feel so protective over you. I know life has its struggles, but I wanted to say that I'm so impressed at your constant ability to deal with your family and Chae and all that.

Liyah, you don't have to prove yourself to anyone. I'm sorry you have such strong people pleaser tendencies, but your biggest priority should be pleasing you. We love you the way you are. Keep smiling.

Mia, I love you and I'm so proud of everything you do. It makes me sad when you hurt yourself, but I'm not completely clean either, so I shouldn't be talking. Keep reaching for your goals no matter how big and especially how small. That's probably the best thing you can do at a time like this. I miss you.

Now that everyone knows that I'm still alive, I just wanted to say that I'm proud of everyone from afar. Ok, I'm done now. I can only be sappy for so long.
