It's weird. I've been looking forward to graduation so so much that I never really realized that everything else would come to an end. As I'm writing these letters to my friends I just can't help myself and the tears just keep coming. I can't help but wonder when will be the next time I see them and it's all just starting to hit me. I'm leaving, starting somewhere on my own, while they will get to stay together at the same college. Different careers, sure- but the same college.
I'm just going to miss them all so much. It's a group of friends that honestly, I've just known my entire life. Quite literally. These are friends that I've had since elementary school and I've never been apart from. The furthest we've been apart is by being in different classrooms. There's just so many memories amongst us and I cherish them all so much. I remember political debates in 2nd grade, fighting for first place in reading, Halloween in 5th grade where one of you pretended to be a whole other person and then claimed it wasn't you, serenades on the playground, marrying people on the slides at recess, mythical adventures to the little creek near the soccer fields, dissecting frogs, declaring love (I hope he forgets about that one. Not my finest moment), band competitions... the list just keeps going and I'm going to miss it all. For so long I always just focused on all the bad yet it seems that with it all ending, all I can remember is the good. I love all of you guys so much and I couldn't have done it without y'all. So many times, I thought that was it for me. I really didn't know what I would do but every single time, one of y'all was there for me. You never knew it, it's like your subconscious knew but you never truly did. And I'm forever grateful. I love you all so so much and I'm just at a loss for words. I know everyone is going to do such amazing things and you're all going to be so happy. Just wish the best for us all and that we get to stay in touch. I've never been the best at talking to people through text, (I swear I'm actually better in person) but I would like to try. Y'all are friends worth fighting for and I couldn't have asked for better companions in this chapter of my life. I've grown because of y'all, you've helped me become who I am today, and words can't describe how truly grateful I am to have you in my life.
May we find our way back no matter where we go,
A.
