| Somewhere b e t w e e n the procrastination And the homework And the incessant forwards And the friendships And the nasty cafeteria food And the calls to each other complaining about crushes Somewhere b e t w e e n the phone calls to old friends And the "I miss you's" And the "I love you's" And the "What are we doing tonight's?" And somewhere b e t w e e n all of the changing; growing.. Somewhere b e t w e e n the classes And the skipping classes And the studying for tests And the pretending to study for tests And the downright NOT studying for tests... I forgot. I forgot what high school is all about. I forgot what it meant to cry I forgot that pretending to be happy doesn't make you happy. And that pretending to be smart doesn't make you smart. I forgot that you can't just forget the past in fear of the future. I forgot that you can't control falling in love And that you can't make yourself fall in love. I learned that I can love. I learned that it's okay to mess up And it's okay to ask for help And it's okay to feel like CRAP. I learned it's okay to complain and whine to all your friends for a whole day. I learned that sometimes the things you want most you just can't have. I learned that the greatest thing about high school isn't the parties or the DRiNKiNG or the hook-ups... It's the friendships, which means taking chances. I learned that sometimes the things we want to forget are the things which we most need to talk about. I learned that letters from friends are the most important thing. And that sending cards to your friends makes you feel better. But, basically, I just learned that my friends Both o l d and new Are the most important people to me in the world. And without them, I wouldn't be who I am today. So this is a thank you to all of my friends For always being there and I love you. |

| "Life isn't about keeping score. It's not about how many people call you and it's not about who you've dated, are dating, or haven't dated at all. It isn't about who you've kissed, what sport you play, or which guy or girl likes you. It's not about your shoes or your hair or the color of your skin or where you live or go to school. In fact, it's not about grades, money, clothes, or colleges that accept you or not. Life isn't about if you have lots of friends, or if you are alone, and it's not about how accepted or unaccepted you are. Life just isn't about that. But life is about who you love and who you hurt. It's about how you feel about yourself. It's about trust, happiness, and compassion. It's about sticking up for your friends and replacing inner hate with love. Life is about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance, and building confidence. It's about what you say and what you mean. It's about seeing people for who they are and not what they have. Most of all, it is about choosing to use your life to touch someone else's in a way that could never have been achieved otherwise. These choices are what life's about." -Nike ad |
