To someone who has no idea that one simple gesture sparked such an amazing friendship. I just wanted to take the time to say thank you for taking the time to introduce us. Had you not, my life would be very different. So this is a simple thanks to say you are awesome and thank you for what you did.
And to my bestie (who is because of this simple gesture) I freaking love you more than anything. You keep me going girl, and there's not much I wouldn't do for you. <3

To go with "The Light..." (my poetry post)
Well I actually didn't write the poem so much for me/ about me as I did a friend. Of course looking at it now it could have been written about a situation (hell numerous situations) in my life. The poem was written based on a conversation a had with a friend about someone's inability to be a true friend and be honest with others.
But this isn't going to be a negative post...
This is where I'm going to say thanks. To the person behind the poem (and all things she says that make me smile). My strength and inspiration. My very own personal help line. The person who, without, I don't think I would have been able to face some of the trials I've faced this past year without. When I didn't know where else to turn, I turned to you and you ALWAYS knew just what to say to fix it or give me a better outlook. Your strength is admirable and the pieces of advice you have given me thus far, incomparable. The time we spend to together, no matter what we are doing, I would not trade for the world. I am grateful everyday for our friendship and when I think I can't go on another day something you say pops up in my mind and I'm able to pick myself up and go on. So thank you for being my friend. (and I hope I don't sound like a creeper) But my life has been changed for the better because of you.
"You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend... "
-For Good
"Somehow you saw someone worth saving
You pulled me back into the light
Now if ever I can rescue you,
When you need two arms to fall into
You know exactly where I'll be
Just look for me
Oh look for me"
-Rescue You

The Best Summer of My Life...I think so!
Okay so here it is straight up...summer 2010 thus far has been the best summer ever! I've already had so much fun and gotten to hang out with people that I haven't gotten to spend time with in the past, it's great.
And the best part is it's only August 1st and I don't leave for college until mid-September so that means...a whole more month and half of summer, during which I will turn 18. Pretty Sweet? Yes I think so :)
And here's typical me for you...I've learned something...
That is: I'm glad that certain people are out of my life. Certain people have become a stronger presence and some things will never change. Which is all good. But truly the best is having certain people gone. The people that would put a damper on my day, the people that locked me in and made me afraid to express myself, the people I loved but secretly sometimes hated. Because of the drama they caused the feelings they hurt and the moments they took from me, that could have been used toward others that loved me more. Jacked up? Yes. I think so.
I also discovered how much fun it is just to be. Meaning it's nice to just be with people, no crazy extensive plan required. Those moments of just "being" and "chilling" are my favorite they are what I crave. They are when I am most free and having the most fun.
So remember that the people that are meant to be in your life will stay around. The people you are meant to reconnect with or connect further, it will happen just be patient. The people who poison your euphoric world, they be gone sooner or late, either by their own choice (when they're done using you) or by yours (when you tell them you're done with their BS). Spending time just discovering yourself and being silly is just as important as being structured and serious.
Highlights thus far:
