A lovely reminder.

This one of many to come posts devoted solely to those who have been my support through hardship. Without you gals and guys I would be pretty screwed in most of the situations that I've wandered into. :p This is in the order of how long that I've known each person, that doesn't mean that I love any one of you more than another, so don't get pissy now. Haha. (More will be added as my brain functions more. Sections may be expanded after I drink a delicious Monster.)



Timie: Your are the equivalent to my brother. I've known you for so long now that I really can't count the years, although I'm sure you could. Damn you and your math! :p You grew up with me since I really was just a kid. You've always been the one to beat the snot out of my troublesome ex-boyfriends and to let me cry on your shoulder when it's just too much. Even though you don't know most of my family, you have been there if something happened. You haven't judged my actions, but instead my personality. You were actually the first person that came into my life who has done that. It showed me what to look for in a person, especially in a guy and for that I'll always be in your debt. You're a loud-mouth and I absolutely adore that. You aren't afraid of how others may or may not perceive your actions or your beliefs. You're the person who's seen all of my stupidity in actions - the drinking, drugs, and random things that I will leave unmentioned here. You are stuck being a member of my family, whether you enjoy that or not.



Brandi: You have been the closest thing to a sister that I have ever known. We've fought, loved, and most of all, experienced life together. With the recent loss in my family, you have shown me just how amazing you can truly be. Not many girls are capable of putting aside anger to comfort another, but you have. I'm glad that we're on speaking terms again and I'm certainly glad that you allow me to pester you so frequently with random questions for insight. You're stubborn, opinionated, and emotional. You have the ability to love and move past the bad to see the better in people. If someone hurts you, you always give them another chance. I've seen you mature more quickly than I would have liked, but you have grown into a very beautiful young lady. You will always be a member of my family. Your family will always mean the world to me, especially your mom and grandma. Those two are just spectacular. I know things have been difficult for you lately, but it will get better. You have a strange way of making it happen. One day you'll have tell me your trick with that one. (:



Rikki: I honestly never thought that I could make such a spectacular friend in group counseling of all places. You have always been there for me, regardless of how much or little we spoke that month. Whenever I get the chance to visit California, you've always been the first phone call that I've ever made. I miss you more than words can express on their own. You were the light in my life for a very long while. You were the person who got me out of bed and gave me the hope to motivate me through the day. No matter what choices that I made, you never held them against me. Instead you pushed me to better myself as a whole. You taught me more than anyone else that you don't have the stay the same, that you can change drastically without needing the approval of friends or family. You are always in my heart and definitely in my thoughts. All I can say is that I look forward to seeing you the moment that car gets over the California border. (:


Lisa: We haven't talked much lately, but you still mean the world to me. We have our difference of opinions and I do believe that's why it's been so ridiculously enjoyable when we do talk/spend time together. You aren't afraid to question things and you're too damn smart for your own good at times. I love how we splurge on Diet Pepsi before all else and I absolutely adore how compassionate you are, even if it takes time to get that side of you to come out. You have given me better advice than most anyone my own age. You've been a motivation for me to stop procrastinating with homework and life itself. Whether you're aware of it or not, you took a lot of my fear away. Even if we may not speak as much as we used to, you're still in my thoughts and I still wish only the absolute best for you. <3



Cristen: You were the first person that I noticed in Spanish class that day. You are quiet, but amazing once you open up. You have a stunning taste in fashion and you're the healthiest person that I've ever met. No matter how awful things get in your life, you still find the ability in your heart to be there for your friends and others who are close to you. We've had our disagreements, but that's normal for any family member. (; I will always be here to listen to your thoughts or to murder whoever hurts you. Whichever the case may be, you're always going to be in my life. It could be something as lame as an e-mail, but you aren't escaping my dear. :D You are more than a beautiful girl, you're flawless. It doesn't matter much whether you disagree or not because that won't change my opinion. You are bright and have more potential than the majority of the idiots in this state. Never let go of your dreams and never forget the grass always gets greener. It just needs a little more water some times than others.



Dani: Firstly, I will always love you. No, not as family, but as more. I'm not afraid of admitting that, regardless of how cranky Zachary or Donovan decide to get. You have been my unfaltering support and my violence buddy. When things got truly miserable, no matter where you were at, you called, you came. You've been my muse with a lot of the writings that no one has ever seen. You've been the inspiration to keep me from doing something dreadful, which isn't the easiest thing to do lately. I know how strong you are, but I've seen you at your most vulnerable state. No matter what you believe or see as right, to me you will always be the small glimpse of perfect that only shows around a few times in a lifetime.


Riley: You're the newest person that I have accepted in my circle of care. In the short time that we have known each other, you have managed to make me laugh more than half the people that I know. You have changed my negatives into positives, even if it turned out awkward in the end. With the events that have been happening lately, you have been extremely accepting. Not many people have the capability to be so patient with someone else's loss. You've got a seriously adorable voice, but you have a personality that is so far off that. Even as silent as you may get at times, you've been incredibly protective of not only me, but even Cristen. It honestly shocked me the first time you said you wanted to hit Zack with the bat. In a good way though, like having one of those HUGE Monsters good way. :D I hope that we'll always stay close. After all, without you, we're not the flawless triplets. (;
