To Miss S. Schultz

You my friend are one of my favourite people at our silly school. I'm glad that you've been a part of my 6 years at Vic. You've been such a huge part of my experience. We don't even need to discuss your incredible talent, because we both know you will modestly deny it. But seriously.
The bus ride talks are some of my favourite moments between us. The life talks about how great things are going, or the talks about how stupid people can be. I'm glad that we agree on stupid people in our band class..Which takes us to the many band memories. Oh band camp. What a ridiculous place. Camp nakumun will forever hold some of the greatest camps ever. I loved the while that we also shared choral class, and became the manly altos in the back row. What a great time. I'm grateful for the times we've shared over the years. I will miss you very much once we've graduated. Here's to the memories created,and to the ones we still have left to create. Thanks for it all girl. LoveLoveLove

To Quinn;
I don’t think I’ve told you how awesome I truly think you are. You are one of my favourite people to talk to. You make me laugh. You make me mad with your circular logic. The way you write, is so eloquent, and it drives me bananas that you won’t admit to it. The weird things you think when you can’t sleep. They make me think. You make me think, with every conversation we have. To question life, and to form opinions. I have made self discoveries thanks to our late summer night talks. I’ve learned how to speak in haiku form. That makes me smile so much to see a ridiculous haiku waiting for me when I get home posted on my wall. That funny game we used to play, “if I were a vegetable I would be a…. zucchini”. Thank you for the ‘laugh out louds the ‘frustration out louds’, letting me think out loud, and for the haikus. Here’s to being a Yes man, to Jim Carrey finding a woman his own age, and the trips down to lethy town. Much love man. Much love.

To Erin;
You keep me sane. I love someone who I can laugh with, and cry with. And you are such a good friend to me. I love our silly movie marathons, and hot tub adventures. I love laughing about stupid people, yelling about stupid teachers, whispering about cute boys, and dying with laughter. I missed you so much while you were on vacation. You make my days so much happier. To see you, sitting there waiting for me at the blue building to have our lunches is one of the greatest feelings. To be so comfortable with you, and feel so at ease to see a loving face, in the crowd that just passes by. Thanks for being there through it all.

To Austin;
I feel like we’ve grown as people a lot in the last few weeks. I like that we trust each other. I like laughing with you JEMAINE. I like having late night parties, with mash potatoes, and FRIENDS. What a stupid show. I love that we are talking more and more as time goes on. I love that we share the basement, and even though it got significantly messier with 2 teenagers living in it, I’m glad you moved down here. I’m glad that you let me date your best friend (NOT). I’m glad that you’re someone I enjoy spending time with. You’re not just a sibling, you are my friend. My good friend. I love you buddy. Even when you punch my arm and it dies. Even then. I love you.

To my parents;

I can't even describe the love and respect I have for you both as people. I'm not the perfect daughter as we all know, and there are times when I would like to kick your shins. But I would give my everything for you both. I appreciate you guys. So much more than I can say. I'm so grateful to have parents who are involved in my life, and who want to spend time with me. I like having parents who will go to movies with me, and watch late night TV shows. Whose daughter can’t drive, and who get frustrated at that fact, but so lovingly give me rides. I hate it when I forget to say thank you. You don’t know how much I appreciate the little things you guys do. And the big things. But for the record....
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

thanks.

I have had an incredibly emotional week. I am the first to admit that I'm a bit bipolar.
I dont know how to explain depression. Or how it makes me feel. Or why certain periods of time are just worse than others. Even with the same meds, the same activities. It just changes. I had a week where I hated everything. It happens to me. I was so angry, and so sad. Mostly I was lonely. Which is a really awful feeling.
Loneliness.
I feel like the worst human being for feeling lonely. When I have so many amazing people in my life. My family, my friends, and my unconditional loving dog nog.
This week was full of loneliness. And self pity. And I am a walking contradiction.
I HATE HATE HATE HATE self pity. I have so much in my life. HOW DARE I FEEL SAD AND FEEL SELF PITY. Yet, it happened. I would feel happy for a few hours, and then fall back into these awful feelings. And snuggle Nog by the fire, and cry.
I have so many people in my life, who mean the world to me. I just want to write about a few here. They might not hear it all the time, or know just how important they are in my life. But they will now. Following this post will be gratitude notes to some important people in my life.

these few words.

These three days.
I feel lonely and sad. And i'm not entirely sure what brought this on.I would like to feel better, and stop feeling like a peice of poop. Maybe its my cold that wont go away. Or the fact that my best friend is gone for a week. But its a weird few days. I'll get back to you later.
