The people we meet
The people we meet in life leave a profound impact on who we are currently, as well as, who we will become. Look back over your four years in high school and think about those people who have impacted you. Write your post this week as a thank you letter to that person. Remind that person how you met and then go on to explain how they have impacted your life. If you wish to change the names to protect the innocent, go ahead.

Dear love,
I spent this whole school year with you and I wouldn't change it for the world. We have had so many problems, but our love mostly overpowered our weaknesses. I know some people think that you can't fall in love at such a young age, but they're wrong. It wouldn't hurt this much if it wasn't love. You built me up when I was at my weakest moments. You stopped my self-harm addiction. You encouraged me to go to therapy. You brought a smile to my face that I hadn't felt in so long. I spent every minute of everyday with you, and I wish it could be like that again. I miss you so much, words can't even describe how much. I never thought we'd get to this point, but I know you are always here for me, and as I am for you. I will always feel love for you, always. I am so lost without you right now, I really don't know what to do. It's like a piece of me is missing. I'll never forget all the things you did for me, all the gifts you've given me, and most importantly, the love you gave me. That was the best gift. I want you to be happy and I want you to find happiness, with or without me, although i prefer it to be with me. You are always on my mind, and even more so in my heart. I love you, so much.

Dear Ex,
Thank you for showing me some of the things in life I deserve. You weren't around long enough, but I got to know you well. Your family was my family and my family was your family. I am glad I got to see the good in someone that I haven't seen in awhile. At the end, you became the person I heard about and not the person I first met. It made me realize that people change when other people come around and I did realize I changed myself. I am glad to learn this lesson so I can be more careful for the next relationship and to not change my behaviors. I am also glad to have moved on and forgot about the good things you have done for me, as for try to do it for someone else. You were never ready for someone else, I now know, but I guess I was not either. I miss the feelings I had around you. You were a safety blanket for me, but now I am back to where I was. Back at home, keeping things the way they should be. Thank you for teaching me this painful life lesson every girl will go through with a male. I am ready for my new start with someone who had and still has my heart.

Dear past and present friends,
Thank you for the life lessons and great experiences you have given me. I believe that my friends are one of, if not the biggest, factors in how I developed as a person. For my current friends, thank you for all of the great memories you have given me, Even know I know there is many more to come. My current friends are all positive and we all have common interests. I can always count on my friends to make my mood better. To my past friends, thank you for all of the great memories and life lessons you have taught me. I still remember sitting around in my basement with everyone when we would mess around all the time. Those were the days. But I thank you (pl) for the life lessons you have taught me when I chose sports, and you chose drugs. This showed me who I hope I never become. Not that you are a bad person now, but I value hard work, and I dont really like lazy people. Thank you to all of my friends because without you, My life would have SUCKED. Also thank you to my friends who isolate themselves because they have a girlfriend, I hope you guys break up. But to my good friends, Thanks for being a big part of my life I dont know what I would do without my friends.
Dear old best friend,
Thank you for the friendship that you have brought to me and the help that you gave over the years. It’s crazy to think that we had been friends since Elementary school and our senior year drifted away. I am sorry for the countless arguments, but I am not sorry for always telling you what I think with your decisions. I’ve always wanted the best for you and to see you succeed but as the year goes on I see you struggling with that more and more. I will always be here and you know this, but I don’t believe we will reconnect until you realize that you deserve the best and nothing but the best. I wish you nothing but happiness and success.
-Sincerely,Taylar
Dear Ex- Boyfriend.
I picked you to write this letter to because you were a major part of my life for about six years. We were friends, then best friends, then finally a couple. But I only want to write about the last two years. When we first started out, I never thought any human could get such immense feelings for another. I was never one to really believe in “high school” love, and I never imagined being able to see a future with just some boy I happened to date in High School. We had some of my favorite memories together. Your family took me in, as did mine. We had so much in common, we did absolutely everything together. I will always be thankful for the best friend I had in you. I will always miss that person, but you made it very clear a year ago that that is not at all the person you are anymore. I always tried to save you from becoming this person. But here we are. We had a lot of ups, but too many downs. I fell in love. I could tell by all the days and nights I spent crying and all the sleepless nights that only continued. But some where down the road I realized, maybe I was the only person in love. I am young, but I do know a few things about love. You don’t leave your girlfriend who has the flu, to go to a party with your friends if you love her. You don’t spend weekends hooking up with random girls if you love her. You don’t do countless things to hurt your girlfriend if you love her. This made me realize that this was not the kind of “love” I wanted in my life. Someone who only strung me along until they were bored. As I said before, the bad outweighed the good. As you’ve also said “You should be thanking me. I made you stronger.” Thank you. Thank you for showing me what true love is, Thank you for opening my eyes, while ripping me apart in the process because I never would of had the strength to walk away. Thank you for breaking my heart and leading me right into the arms of the most amazing, generous, loving man. Without you, I never would of found him. Everyday I am thankful for what you put me through, because you’re right. You molded me into a very strong woman, who will never feel weak for a man ever again. I will never let someone have that much power over me ever again. I will never let someone treat me the way you did. Thank you for the journey. By losing you, I found myself.
-Sarah.
Dear An Old-Friend,
Out of all the people who have impacted my life in the past four years, if I ever get asked this question again I’ll think of you. You taught me that the truth always comes out whether it’s easy to hear or not. You taught me that sometimes people stay in your life to watch you fail not succeed. You taught me that not everybody cares the same way you do. But most importantly you taught me that sometimes people leave without any explanations. I tried hating you for the longest time, but I could never bring myself to completely do it. I realized no matter how much you hurt me, I could never hurt you the same way. I will forever be glad that I met you, that I got to experience you young and naive rather than foolish and old. I realized I was the kind of person that at the end of the day could be so hurt and still give you another chance. I’m so glad you taught me the life lessons you did, thank you. I question why you left, why you acted like a victim when you hurt me. I realize now the answer has nothing to do with me and everything to do with you. I hope you’re happy, genuinely happy with your life. I hope you find your way soon before it’s too late to turn back. I hope one day you look in the mirror and realize that all the hurt they have put you through has nothing to do with you and everything to do with them. Nevertheless, I hope you look at the line of people you’ve hurt and apologize. If I had to go back and repeat it all over again, I hope you know I would in a heartbeat because you were just the best mistake.
-Kylie
Dear old best friend,
When someone asks me about my high school experience you will be the one to come to my mind. I met you before sophomore year at the fair and never would I have thought you would impact my life the way you did. Since that day we were best friends for 3 years. We did everything together and I never would get tired of it. From our late Walmart runs and sushi Wednesdays, I would always smile inside. Although I made mistakes you always forgave me, as I did the same. The first year and a half was amazing. You brought the side of me I never got to show people. I am shy person, but with you. You brought out the best in me. You made me feel like I could accomplish anything and everything. Graduation is coming up and you are not by my side. I have accepted it know matter how much it hurts. I hope that in your life and the future to come you find everything you need to bring the laughter and joy you brought me. I wish great things for you. I just hope you know our time meant everything to me and I do not regret it for a single day. You were my life and now it is time to find a new one. I hope we both find the path to success and never forget each other. I'll always love you.
Dear Friend,
When I think of a single person who got me through high school its you. I could not have done these four years without you. We may not talk nearly as much as we used too but when we do see each other we do not miss a beat. Its really good having a friend you may not talk to for a week but then just randomly text them to go see a movie or something and you talk like you have been seeing each other every day. Its great having someone like that because since we are going to separate colleges we will not see each other often but I know we will still be as close as ever. So I am simply writing this to say thank you for everything you have done, and I can not wait to see where the future takes each of us.
Dear Friend,
When I think of friend you come to my mind. Even though we've not known each other for years, I know the impacts we've had on each other are immense. Before we became friends, I was at a weird place in my life. I didn't know exactly what it was that I wanted to achieve or become in my path of life. I was friends with good people before but there was no benefit in those relationships when they're with people who just drag you down and make you feel sorry for yourself. People who continuously pity themselves no matter what you try to say or do to help or tell them other wise didn't work, and so I let that attitude become mine, until I meet you. You were very relaxed with the way the world works, you took it for what it was and I totally admired that, you really should me that I needed to block out the sounds of everyone else telling me to become this or be that or study this in college simply because the money is great, I never even liked those ideas anyway. Because of you I have a very strong sense of self now, I'm going to do what I like because I'm passionate about it and that's what makes me happy. Even if I come at you with a problem you fix it easily, you really showed me that there should really be no excuse to do anything. I love my life and I'm excited for how it goes on from here on out. One more thing friend, please don't carry burdens on your own. I'm glad you confide in me on personal things, being friends with you is great, and even though are paths are going entirely different directions, I'm so excited for the both of us.
Dear Best Friend,
You have always been here for me since we were kids and I couldn't ask for anyone better. You were the only one I needed to help me and you have always been here for me. You mean the world to me. No one can ever replace you and you inspired me to do better and to work harder. And you helped me with other relationships and told me that I am strong enough to handle anything. I have no idea where I would be without you. Even though you have a boyfriend now and we cant see each other as much I still consider you my best friend. You will always be like a sister to me and I love you so much. I want to see you happy and I hope we stay friends forever. I love you like a sister, and that is how I will always see you. Through every fight and stupid argument, you will be the one I fall back on and same for you. You are the best friend I could ever have.
Love, Brianna.
Dear best friends,
I could not have made it through these past four years of high school without you guys. I want to thank you all for being there for me and sticking by my side when things got hard. I can always count on you for anything and i know we'll always have eachother's backs. When i think of the best memories of my life, you are in every single one. We have all been through so much together and i can not wait to make more memories with you guys. I know high school is ending and i know we will all be off at college next year, but i hope more than anything that we can all still keep in touch throughout the rest of our lives. I hope that we can all be in eachother's weddings and raise our kids to be best friends just like we all are. I love you guys so much and i cant wait to see what the rest of life have in store for us.
Dear friends,
These four years of High School have been nothing but adventures. I want to take the time to thank each and every one of you for being there with me and all the fun times we had. Each year was better than the last and it couldn't have happened with out all of you guys. Some you guys have been closer than others and we really knew how to have a great team during our seasons. Those are the times that I will miss the most. Others of you have grown distant and I wish the best to all of you in with what ever the future holds. Next year we will be going separate ways as some go to college and others still undecided. All of the memories we had will never be forgotten. Thank you guys for everything and I hope to stay in touch for many more years to come.
Dear friend,
These 4 years of high school have been a ride. We have known each other since we were in elementary school. I want to thank you for all the fun times we had and for all the tough times we had. I can always count on you for anything. When i think about the best moments that I had in my high school career, they are the ones that we shared together. High school is ending and we may or may not communicate with each other anymore. All I hope for after I finish high school is to remain friends with you. We are going our seperate ways but not forever. Thanks again for being my friend.
Dear friend,
When we met freshman year, I knew our friendship would last a long time. We immediately had a bond that would not break. We told each other everything. These past 4 years would not have been the same without you. You have been there for me every step of the way and do not know how to thank you. We both have learned so much over the last 4 years about ourselves that we have never known. You have taught me to be myself and go out and make a difference. We have so many memories that I will never forget. Without you, I would not have not gone on so many adventures. I know our futures are going to be drawing us apart, but I know we will make the best of the days we have left. Your going to do amazing things and make a change in the world. Thank you for making my high school career one to remember. Thanks for being a really great friend.
Molly
Dear old best friend,
You are the only person I think of when asked this question. We have been friends since the 7th grade and I know we aren't friends anymore because of reasons I sometimes wish didn't happen, but you taught me a lot. I learned that not everyone is going to like me and I learned that I have to let people hate on me. You taught me to not care what anyone else thinks. After a boy hurt me and I felt down you knew how to make things better for me. You helped me get through a lot. Even though we aren't friends anymore you know I am still always here for you and I am so thankful we can still check on each other now and then. I hope things are going good for you, because you deserve it. I will forever miss having you in my life, but I know we were just hurting each other. I love you and hope your life after high school is the most amazing life you have.
Dear Friends,
Over the past four years have been an amazing time to build the friendships we have together. From Freshman year to senior year I could really see the friendships I have created with the people I enjoyed being around. You all are amazing and are what make me enjoy coming to school each day. Although we will all be going separate ways for college etc. I hope we still keep in touch and have the fun times we always do. I would like to thank my friends for being friends with me throughout 4 incredible years (Some others more years) and I hope we continue to keep in touch in the future.
I am really glad that we have known each other for so long. I never talked to you much until we were in 9th grade, and then not much until we started working together. You have been really helpful my senior year and I don't know where I would be if you weren't around this whole time. It is surprising how much you have helped me this year in and out of school. I will be sad when you go off to college next year and I hope to see you long after.
Dear Mama Gucci,
Of all the people who've influenced me in the past four years I'd have to say you were the best. As my private lesson teacher you pushed me to go above and beyond what I thought was possible. You taught me things I never thought I could accomplish on my own and you pushed me to be my best each and every week. You were strict with me when I slacked off and encouraged me when I was too hard on myself. Thanks to you, Mama Gucci, I've been inspired to follow my passions and pursue a career in music. For that I am eternally grateful.
Your faithful student,
Katie
We met freshmen year and have been like sisters through these four years of high school and i am so glad we got this close. We got through these four years together and stood by each others side through thick and thin. Meeting you freshman year made my years easier becasue i knew if something went wrong i could always go to you to talk about anything and you would make it better. We may not be as close as we were freshman year but we still talk and hangout at least once a week which is better than not seeing each other at all. We have both been through so much together and still we are going strong. Thank you for everything you've done for me and i hope the best for you in the future.
Dear best friend,
We have been friends for seven years, it is so crazy to think we’ll be graduating high school soon. I remember we met in 6th grade, you walked in my language arts class and was introduced as the “new girl”. Our teacher seated you at my table, and that is where our friendship began. I don’t know what I would do if you never decided to go to public school, I would have never met you that is for sure. You have taught me so much over the years and made me a better person. You have impacted my life by staying strong through all the ups and downs you encounter in life. I know it is hard for you at times, but there is always a reason you find to pull yourself up. You have taught me to be happy and to enjoy life because life is an adventure and you should never fear the experiences that will come. Throughout our friendship, you have always been there for me and you are always there when I need to rant or tell you what has been going on in my life. You have inspired me to be an artist even more so than I thought I could ever be. We both love music, and the many concerts we have been to together only bond us more. You have been my inspiration for seven years and I cannot thank you enough for the times we have cherished. As we begin this new chapter in our life, let’s not forget the reason we are best friends.
~Renee
Dear best friend,
We have gotten so close over these past few years. Although we have known each other since we were five, we are now best friends. You have introduced me to so many new people and new things. I have grown a lot because of you. You are always there for me. When I look back on my high school years, most of my favorite memories will have you in them. We made it through some of the hardest courses that BHS has by helping each other. I enjoy making our stupid jokes together. We have had a lot of fun in high school and I hope this continues in college. I am excited to see what these next four years bring us. Here is to the future.
Dear friends,
Thank you for everything you have gone through with me these past four years, and for some even longer. You have made me the way I want to be and helped me find out what kind of person I truly am. You have changed my outlook on life and have been with me through the good and bad times, and most importantly when I needed you most. We have changed so much over the years but most importantly we never stopped inspiring each other. Thank you for making me the person I am today.
Dear best friend,
We met five years ago and you've been my best friend ever since. You've always been there to talk or joke with. Honestly my high school career would have not been the same without you. Our friendship has such a profound impact on me and even though we're going to different colleges I know we'll still be best friends. Thanks for being there for me now and later, because I know you always will be.
Dear best friend,
I've known you all my life, as friends come and go you remain. My other half, we have been together since kids, you've had my back since day one. As we grew older, we became closer, through the good and the bad years when I was insecure you have been there. We entered high school together, gaining more friends, but none have been more resilient as you. Every problem I faced you faced too, you gave me the courage to be myself, regardless. My enemies became your enemies, and you hated them just because I did. When I was afraid to attempt something new, you pushed me, when I fell you caught me. You have influenced my taste, for the good or sometimes bad. We've had many adventures together throughout four years of high school, we took risks together and laughed at our stupidity. You've shown me happiness and shown me how to enjoy my life. You have influenced me over the four years, I don't think I will ever find a friend as dear to me as you. I don't think I can show enough gratitude for what you've done for me, just being you has been enough.
Your other half,
Stevi
Dear You,
Hey, it’s me. (You would probably roll your eyes now because I didn’t even try to avoid using a song reference). Wow, how the time has flown. I think it’s been about five years since we met on that bus home from a church festival forever ago. You teased me about how I said the word ‘aunt’, and we just hit it off. We disconnected for a few months, but July quickly turned to September and I found out that you went to my church and played the trumpet in the worship band. We hung out every Sunday night after the mass we both played in the band for, and we got along seamlessly, almost as though we hadn’t spent two months apart. Oh, I remember how we would always sit together at dinner and joke and I would say something dumb and you would roll your eyes but give me that fond look. And I was just fourteen, how was I supposed to know what those three words really meant? I had dreamt about the first time someone would tell me they loved me. In December, we became official, and I had never actually felt happier. You said all the right things and did everything right and it just felt so natural. I remember that my friends actually thought we had been dating for months beforehand, so they laughed when I said you asked me to be your girlfriend the previous weekend. Time passed, as it does, and we got along like a house on fire. Except, I think I was more the house and you were the fire, consuming me. I looked past your condescending tone and heard a boy who was smitten with me. I looked past your overt theatrical dramatics and saw a boy who would backflip to see me smile. That was fine at first. I guess that was something else I always overlooked. Everything was fine, it wasn’t great. I wanted to just have someone to tell me they loved me and give me affection and go to Amish Country with me and get candles and hot chocolate. I didn’t really care that you always put me down to be right, and that you always had to be better than me at everything, and that you made those little comments that you saw as harmless but that kept me up at night. I ignored those, and I think that was my biggest downfall. Looking at it now, though, it’s okay. I learned what words should come easily and what words should not. I taught myself that I am a strong young woman who shouldn’t settle for a tall tan boy with curly hair and brown eyes who told me he essentially competed with his best friend for me, as though I was some sort of prize to be won. I discovered that my life doesn’t have to be directly according to a Taylor Swift song, and that it’s okay to be single. You see, I had no idea what I liked and what I wanted to do. You thought you knew what I wanted, but you really didn’t. So now it’s my turn. I see you around sometimes, at church and whatnot. You started college this year, studying linguistics and religion like you always wanted to. You teased me for my desire to study music. But let’s just remember that I also told you that I loved you and that you made me the happiest girl alive. So. I digress, though. You gave me a lot of life lessons that I need to make myself the best person I am today, as painful as it was. I kept the necklace you gave me, still hold onto the notes you passed me three years ago, and I see you in my Timehop sometime around this season. You warned me about the weather three years ago today, remembering my utter fear of thunderstorms since then. But things have changed. I love storms now, I have a strong dislike towards the same chocolate peanut butter cups you got me, I don’t look to music as my only future career path. And that’s okay. As the seasons change, so do people. I just wanted to thank you for asking me to be your girlfriend and letting me learn these lessons the hard way, as they usually go.
Jessica
Dear friend,
We have been best friends since 8th grade. We were always there for each other and hungout and were bros for a solid year before high school. High school split us up so we did not talk as much for a year and became distant. Finally we had a class sophomore year and were close friends again ever since. I always came to you for advice about anything from girls to serious life things, you always gave me great advice and we always had a blast. we have been enjoying this year to its full potential and riding the wave until the year is over. it sucks that the best years of our lives are coming to an end. College is coming up but we will still be close and i hope we are friends after college and always stay tight. There is nobody else id want to share these years with, thanks for the memories they have been a blast.
Dear old best friend,
I have known you since we were babies. You were my first friend when we grew a little older and our parents set us up for play dates. We grew up together and spent our days playing outside with other friends. Everything is different now but I knew from middle school that we would grow apart. We always had different friends in school, but always fell back on each other outside of school. Every time we see each other now, we catch up and it’s like nothing has changed. But it has. Even though we spent the past 4 years growing apart, I learned that if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have the friends that I do now. The friends I have now are so great and I am truly thankful for them. I learned that the length of friendship means nothing, people change and people grow apart and that was the most valuable lesson I had ever learned. I will always be here for you, no matter what. I just know that you will always have someone else to lean on.
Dear best friend,
I met you in 4th grade and honestly can't go a day without you now. We are irreplaceable and i couldn't thank you enough for sticking by side the last 4 years of high school, i couldn't have done it without you. We have gone through so much and you taught me so many things. Thinking about going our separate ways in 4 short months scares me so much but i know nothing can break our friendship, i will always call you to see how your day is going and i know you will do the same. Having something in your life that makes you so happy is such a wonderful thing to have, and mine happens to be you. I can go on for days about how much you mean to me and i know i don't tell you enough but i love you and i am blessed to have a best friend as great as you are.
To you,
I sat and contemplated for a while who to direct this letter to. Every time your name came to mind, I rolled my eyes and tried to think of someone new. I don't want to write to you, but I think this will be the ending page to the chapter that you've had in my life.
As any cliché story goes, we met freshmen year and since then nothing as been the same. Once again I roll my eyes reading over my words.
Freshmen year I met you. Nothing special really. The occasional glance to one another through out the hallways led to a simple introduction. It's ironic now thinking back on it all. Simple was the further thing from you.
As I write this I know these memories are long gone to you. You were never one to hold on to the stupid little details.
They way we would write notes to each other like in the movies. I kept every one.
The way we would lay outside and just talk.
The music and songs we played for each other. Although you never seemed to like mine.
I was naïve and had no idea what I was getting myself into.
You would think after going through the same thing with you three times, I would've learned. Everything always started out so well with us. So happy and full of love.
The endings: not so much. Each and every time it turned into a bomb waiting to explode. I was on edge wondering when you would call it quits this time.
This letter is not me curing my ex or crying about the times that I wish we could still share together.
No.
I have always been a person that has loved with all of their heart. I am one to who pours all of their energy into someone. As I did with you. As I did to the point where I forgot who my true self was. I forgot about the people who cared about me and supported me. You drained me of every last drop of love that I had. The nights where you would call and cry to me, when you would just show up at my house and I dropped everything for you. I gave you all that I knew how to.
You on the other hand, are a person who takes and takes until they feel satisfied. The nights where I was alone because you wouldn't show up. The nights where I couldn't sleep because you wouldn't answer the phone. My life revolved around you and I was nothing more than a pick-me-up when you hit your lows.
Three years of my life was wasted on worrying wether or not you would ever change your mind and come to the conclusion that although it may not have been as much as you wanted, I gave you everything I could.
It's so hard to find the words that I want to say to you because for so long I've done nothing but hate you more than I ever thought possible.
There's so much I want to say to you but as I've grown, I've learned that you are not worth any of it anymore.
You are not worth the effort I put into you or the love that I gave or the tears that I shed.
You are not worth the people I pushed away and you are not worth the emotional exhaustion that I went through.
I have come to realize that I am a much bigger person than you.
This letter is to thank you for breaking me down because with that I rebuilt myself into the person I am today. I am strong and loving and I will never treat anyone in the way that you treated me. You shaped me as someone that will never be like you.
So here I am today, a new person that you will never get the opportunity to know.
I hope life treats you well and you realize that being such a cold individual is not worth it.
With all of my heart I hope one day you realize how empty life is without love and compassion.
Andrea
To my best friend,
When we met, I hated you. I completely despised every particle of your body and if you could just evaporate, well, I would've appreciated that. Would have.
Now here we are, two and a half years later still having 5 hour conversations on the phone and learning that between our two phone services there's a four hour time limit. And then we talk more.
I have never felt more comfortable with any other person. You are always here for me, no matter what problems I have and who I'm having conflict with; even if it's you. You're here through the rough, through the great, and through the moments where everything is falling apart. You let me cling on to you and never let go and sometimes that's all I need. You're all I need.
I can't say you've changed my life honestly. No one has really impacted me on a great level through my last year of high school. My friends are gone, my family is growing up and away from me, and you're all I have left. But you have been there for me and I guess that is worth recognition. You're the only one who tries to comfort me and actually knows what they're doing. From the bad times to the good and back to the bad, you've always been there.
Thank you for letting me find someone and get into the life of someone like you. Every individual needs someone like you in their life. Thank you for being my person. Thank you for dealing with me. Thank you for being the best thing that has ever happened to me. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You have inspired me to look at a future, to make change to my life, to not give up on happiness even when I almost break my pelvis and can't run anymore. Thank you.
Thank you.
Dear best friend,
We have known each other since we were two years old. These past four years have gone by so fast, so much has happened within those years. Our friendship has impacted me in ways that are unexplainable. I know we do not agree on everything but you are the yang to my yin. All these years you have helped me become whole and helped inspire me to become a better person. I just want to say thank you for being in my life , you are appreciated.
Dear Old Best Friend,
I've pushed writing this blog because I know this is going to destroy me. Wow where to begin... the first time we ever hung out was under fireworks July 4, 2013. It was honestly the best night of my life and it still is to this day. Ever since I met you you've changed my life in so many ways and haven't stopped helping me since day one. You've been there for me through thick and thin. You're the one that would make my face light up with happiness just to tell you how my day was. Nothing with you ever got boring; from sitting and watching Netflix all day to going on adventures in the woods. You were my light on a cloudy day. Writing this actually puts tears in my eyes... Just remember you are my forever and my first love. I'll never want anything but the best for you and I hope you find someone who makes you as happy as you've made me for nearly 3 years. I'll never forget you and I can't wait to tell my kids about you one day. Goodbye best friend...
Dear ex boyfriend, we met two summers ago after my other ex boyfriend and I broke up. I always noticed you in the halls of BHS, and never could have guessed you would mean this much to me. I want to thank you for coming into my life. I do not regret being with you, but I regret how long I stayed with you, and let you constantly take pieces of me with you. When it was good, it was great. You taught me to be a better person, more responsible, and most of all, dedicated to my health and fitness. Without you I would have not gotten into the idea of fitness, and since I did, it is a huge part of my life today and is something I can count on to give me happiness when all else fails. There has been four instances that you chose to be unloyal, and through that, I still stayed. I am the kind of person who forgives too much, and it is taking a toll on me. You are in my life still to this day as a great friend. You want things back to normal, but I have learned better to not mess with fire. I have a guard up and refuse to be taken advantage of. You taught me to stand up for myself and what to watch out for, and for that I thank you.

Gaby Rosier, i hate you as much as i hate myself; only because you call me out. Sometimes i'm right and you still call me out. Sometimes i'm wrong and you correct me, not gentle but none the less a bud nipped can now bloom. i always treated you poorly, i think in first grade we really went at it like cats & dogs. Then again junior year when i transitioned from a nuisance to an ass. If the zodiac is real i'm ying and you are yang, there is polar opposites and although we use to clash i've come to realize one can't exist without the other... Metaphorically cause you are a strong independent black woman and don't need no man... but back on topic i find myself aggressive with you because you make me reflect and sometimes i don't like what i see, sometimes i don't want to see but you force me to anyways. Like if looking at the sun was a way to understand truth that is how i feel about you, you are the sun and i Galileo who goes blind. what am i saying? im saying love is the poison and the cure... im glad this last year is different between us and im not a little pansy any more. Not to say i don't have my moments but if im talking about someone who has cause me to think long and hard about myself; you come to mind. So this letter is a thank you and apology cause i know i said it once but still,
I'm sorry for what i have done to you. (and i'm also sorry about your bench)
The lier that sat behind you in Pre-K,
Daniel Faust
