I can't believe how much time has passed. Sometimes i wonder when everything changed. Who we were, who we are, who we will be. The past is the past and what happened there will never change. At some point in time we meant something great to one another. You experience things with certain people and you just assume at the time that nothing will change, but life doesn't work that way, does it? Maybe that's a good thing. I'll always think about the people I've lost, but I don't dwell. There's no point in that. It's getting late, but the thoughts don't stray.
"Glad for what we've got, done with what we've lost, our whole lives laid out, right in front of us."

Um.
Dear Undisclosed Person #3,
Wow you must be incredibly thick. Must is the wrong word, you ARE incredibly thick. How much more obvious can a person get about something like this? Clearly not obvious enough. You say we're "really good friends" but I'm finding that hard to believe as of late, because if we were and if you really cared about me at all, you would've told me about your girlfriend. I thought we were close too, but looks like I may have been mistaken. I am glad that you know I won't be wasting my time to visit you because I'm not one to put myself in awkward & uncomfortable situations. Not like you even deserve to see me after all this. Once you learn how to communicate with people better, maybe we'll be alright. You just really know how to fuck things up.

Not one bit.
Dear Undisclosed Persons,
Person #1. I'm sorry I don't feel the same way about you. But the thing you may not understand is that I've been where you are SO many times. It feels as though you're ignoring me now and I wish that we could talk about it, it hurts me that it seems like you're shutting me out and I want to believe that's not the truth. I know it hurts, I've felt it, but all I want is for us to continue to be friends, because we're good as that.
Person #2 We cuddled. whatever. It's not a big deal. It'd be cool if we could hang out, but it honestly doesn't matter. It won't be the end of the world to me if you're not interested. I'm too old for all this.

Oh the summertime.
C-Ville.
So I stayed the night because SW asked us too. I sat on your lap and we talked. We played with leaves for like 15 minutes, I love the fact that you're also entertained by the little things in life. You're super nice and not to mention adorable. But knowing my luck & track record it'll be a passing thing. Hopefully not though. & hopefully you're not crazy!
& gee everyone, BUT you asked me to cuddle with them. I ignore their requests and try to figure out how I'll get the ending I want.
SW, you and I are all in this tiny bed for our slumber party deciding if this is a good idea. When SW tells us he's going to the couch, I'm having a Laura Linney Love Actually moment.
I turn towards the wall & wait. Nothing happens, I'm a bit disappointed.
BUT THEN you pull me over & put your arm around me & we hold hands until we wake.
All in all my hand was a bit numb & my back hurt a little, but it was all worth it.
My wish on an airplane came true.
23 June
After a walk in the woods, we're sitting on a log and you ask to kiss me.
Sorry, but I don't think of you that way.
Apparently I've got WOMS. (Thanks JEM)

Hey you there.
summer: It's funny how four days can feel like a lifetime. Four days where everything can change. We were together and that was it. It was all of us and nothing else mattered. Do you ever think about that time? How perfect it was? I do now and then and I wonder, what would've been if things were different.
winter: You asked me what inspired me to make you a CD, I replied: I just make mixes for people. When really it's I've had a slight crush on you since we met three years ago and you're definitely going to figure it out now. You told me that you're so excited to listen to it and that you'll have to make me one back and then I ran away.
spring: so I wrote you this letter, number three (not including your birthday card) explaining my feelings about what happened over your birthday weekend. I want to talk about it, but I don't want to bring it up. nowadays it seems like we'll probably never talk about it. even though it lingers in the back of my mind. you and I both know there's an elephant in the room. who's going to be the first to tell him to move or get out?

BOYS
01. CPR,
I knew from the moment I meant you, something had changed. You brought a fire into my life that I didn’t know I needed. I know everything about you and I feel like I’ve known you forever. Nothing will ever change that, even if we have our squabbles now and then, even though they’re never THAT bad you mean the world to me. And simple moments like holding hands and listening to music in your bed make my life what it is and I cherish that. You’ve seen and know every bit of me and I couldn’t imagine life without you. Commiserating with you is the best& I’m glad that we’re usually on the same page. & I do think we could live together, I was just under bad influences when I said we couldn’t. (& I’m sorry for getting ahead of myself before putting you first, I went a bit crazy & lost myself in the process) As long as you don’t lick your bowl. :)
02. LGT
You are without a doubt one of the best people I’ve ever met in my entire life. You’ve gone through so much and you’re such an amazing selfless person and I’m extremely glad to have met you. My mom still wants us to be together . I can’t thank you for the numerous times you’ve helped me out and been there for me. I will always be there for you whenever you need something you can always count on me. Always.
03. NPR,
We’ve known each other for a little over 10 years now and you were one of the first friends I made when I moved here. You meant so much to me then and you still do now even though we don’t talk to each other at all anymore. I don’t know why it is or how it happened, it just seems like you moved on and I wasn’t so important to you anymore. It’s like your new life means everything and I’m just left in the dust. I’m always the one to try and talk to you and contact you first and I wish it wasn’t like that. I miss you and me, I miss everything and I wish that you felt the same way; I wish you thought about me the way I think about you. I know that we’ll know each other for our whole lives and there are memories we have together that will never be replaced. Like the fact that you were my first kiss on that cold Halloween night when we were 14 years old. I was wearing my homecoming dress and the streetlights were dull as we stopped to talk for a bit. Katey urged you to just do it and I was a bit nervous, but I knew it’d be okay because it was you. And I’d like to think that night brought us closer, but maybe it was the last day of third grade when you chased me on the desks. It’s 2:57am and this is what I stay up late thinking about, while watching horror movies of course. I find myself thinking I wish things could go back to the way they were and I know they can’t and never will, but I wish some of what we had could come back. I feel like I'm not the type of person you want to be around anymore and that hurts. I'll always be there for you if you ever needed me and I'll always be waiting on that blanket you promised me all those years ago.
04. CR,
I can't wait until you get back from France because I missed you and you're always going to be special to me, you played a big part in who I am today and I'm so glad for that. That summer. :) & I want to hear all about your adventures.
05.PKM
Even though we’ve had our fights here and there I’m glad that we always come out of it okay and that we’re able to talk to each other about our issues like adults. We’ve known each other for such a long time and we’ve definitely matured. I love having our late night chats in the car. SKINNY JEANS!
07. MH,
From the moment we met we had this connection, like we’d known each other before. You understand me so well and it’s wild how we’re on the same page. We haven’t known each other for that long, but it feels like it’s been ages. & I love an instant connection. I know we’ll be friends forever, including the next life hehe.
08. JC
I kind of think you’re perfect. You’re funny, smart, cool, talented, cute, and everything in between. I would never tell you this to your face because you’re the type of person I’ll probably never be with. Maybe in 10 years when we’re 30, I’ll tell you all about it.
09. CP
There are so many things left unsaid, I left, I came back and I wanted us to be friends. It was sort of working and then you left without a word. (I'll never tell you that I knew something was different the night I found out you left. I felt it and I thought of you and I was right) It kind of hurt me because I still wanted to talk to you and hang out and get to a point where we’d be cool with each other. I mean I know we sort of were, but we didn’t have a lot of time to figure it all out. I would’ve liked to, maybe one day, but who really knows? Even though you think you're a complete & total asshole, which you can be, there are good qualities about you and I think you're afraid to see that and break out of the mold you've been put into. You can be a better person, who you are now doesn't have to be the end all be all. You'll get older and hopefully you'll realize that and if so I'd like to be there to see it.

GIRLS.
one. SVT
I think about you all the time & I’m glad that we’re so much closer than before. I wish I could see you everyday because you make me so happy. Spending time with you is probably one of my favorite things to do, when you smile, I smile. You’re so beautiful and French and I love you. Even though you definitely gave me a dog biscuit on my 10th birthday, it’s okay that you don’t remember. You mean everything to me and you made senior year bearable. Rolling down hills and writing crazy prose poetry made it all worth it, we will forever be ogre & teapot. Soggy cereal never tastes better with anyone but you.
two. NMK
We need to hang out more because we have so much fun together and I think that our webisodes are going to be amazing. We’ll have the best fashion sense and the sweetest music. We need to get on that soon for sure. BTW, boys are lame, but we’ll always have each other and our awkwardness.
three. SM (Turtle)
Mama, you and I just get each other when no one else understands. Things that make sense to us often times don’t make sense to the ones we’re surrounded by. Noodles and movie marathons are the best, there’s still more to go! & once we start our roller skating reign of terror we’re going to be a force to be reckoned with, you can believe that. I love you and all of the silly things we do. You’re still the bubble wrap champ and your dark noon is coming!
four. FJ
My redheaded wonder it was love at first sight when we met all those years ago in Heather’s basement. I still have the first journal you wrote in of mine, of course. One day we’re going to make some great movies together or maybe not so great who knows. Either way I’m glad to have you in my life to share movies with among other things. Like what we could be doing with our time because we are quite pretty, but we just don’t know the right people.
five. DLF
I love staying up late and talking to you when I know no one else is up. Especially when we get nerdy. That’s probably the best part.
six. KLS
In the four years we’ve known each other it seems like it’s been a lot longer. You’ve taught me a lot and you’ve been a great friend. Work is always that much better when you’re there and I love talking to you. Spice Girls wouldn’t have been the same without you, I’m really glad we got to experience that together it was a great time for the both of us.
seven. ALN
I’m glad to know you and I appreciate you always looking out for me and thanks for helping me when I had a panic attack. You’re so fun to be around, although as of late we mostly just talk about you.
eight. HP
Child of my loins, we really need to spend more time together because we’re so alike and spending time with you is the best. I’m your spawn, you’re my spawn we make it work.
nine. EKOL
Our friendship didn’t last very long and was tumultuous at best, but something about our short lived span was beautiful. I really did like spending time with you, but you changed me and it wasn’t in the best of ways. You did know how to make me feel special, but I think that the mix of our personalities brought out something sort of sinister in us, I know in me at least. Sometimes I miss you and I wonder what could’ve happened if things didn’t go awry. There are still some unresolved issues between us and you stopped listening when I really needed you. But on the other hand I believe it worked out for the best. I honestly wish you happiness and I hope things work out for you. Maybe one day we’ll meet again, maybe we can work that out in a few years.

one. DMP
Twin! Spending the weekends in your room was the best, along with train rides just to go shopping. I don’t think I’ve met someone who loves underwear shopping as much as I do, so you and I really are a lot alike. You made my stay at school ten times better and I’m so glad we figured out how meant to be we really are. I can't wait to live with you because we had such a great time as "roomies" and school would not have been the same without you. You're the only other person I know who doesn't take the first slice of bread, but goes back a few in the bag. & together we make beautiful music.
two. JTN
Something will always bring me back to you. We were such a couple without really realizing it when we were at school together. Like I said in the letter I wrote you before I left all of those things will always apply. You mean a lot to me too and that’s obviously clear. I love that you text me goodnight even if we didn’t talk that day and I think I have some sort of sense for you, I think of you and you’re there and I love that. I’m really excited for what’s to come because like I said, living in sin. Tambourine man won’t you play a song for me?
three. BCM
Bear in the big house, you’re special. We had some crazy times together and I know that they haven’t come to an end even though we can’t be in the same place right now. Even though I was a sort of sensitive Nancy when you first met me it was only because of my new surroundings :) I'm definitely naming my child after you, but don't worry I won't make you the Godfather. And I love your parents by the way and can’t wait to stay with you during the summer.
four. IH
Girl, you never stop, but that’s one thing I love about you. You’re awesome and I could not have gotten through school without you. You definitely helped me better my work ethic and we always had so much fun hanging out. Thanks for spending Thanksgiving with me and making me pancakes. You’re an amazing friend and I’m glad to have you in my life. You’re gonna be big. :) Just like Hollywood.
five. PK
You make my heart smile. I LOVED seeing you everyday because you made me so happy. You’re such a talented and smart girl and I miss you all the time.
six. LY
Your initials are: love you and that’s what I do. J That’s definitely the phrase I say to you the most. And I wish you’d wear shoes! I’m definitely going to come and visit you in Hawaii someday because I know you can show me all of the cool things to do.
seven. SGC
It's definitely not the same not being around you and our whole group. I miss the things we did, like watching youtube videos and doing 24 questions on Across the Universe. I'm really glad we still keep in touch though because that's amazing. Love you Rah.
eight. JEM
Staying up late and having music orgies with you is the best. You're fun and I love it. We throw parties, you throw knives. & we sure do make them go alala. <3

Staying up late and having music orgies with you is the best. You're fun and I love it. We throw parties, you throw knives. & we sure do make them go alala. <3
