I've discovered that my happiness doesn't come from one person alone.
I've discovered that I can smile even in the face of all this shit.
I've discovered that I can make people happy,
And it's the best feeling in the world.
I've learned that the people you once fought with are friends.
I've learned that the people you once avoided are best.
I've learned that the people you trust,
Are the greatest comfort in the world.
My Love isn't singular, rather all-encompassing
My Love isn't mandated, rather felt
My Love isn't diminished by who recieves it,
But instead I can Love you all.
To my friends out in college and my friends back home, to those who have helped me through the good and the bad. To those I once argued with who've become closest friends, and to those I've never gotten the chance to tell...
I Love you all!

~For Josh & Ashley who showed me I would be OK
without anyone besides close friends to
Love, and for showing me that I did Love.
~For Katie, because without her reassurances
that things get better (and her being a
personal witness to that truth)... I may
have lost myself to permanent personal
despair.
~For Jareth, Andy, and Brian who I know Love me
in their own ways and for whom I am vastly
greatful.
~For Nick, Anthony, Andrew, Stephy, and everyone else who has
helped me through and cared for me.
~For Taylor and Chad who were there with the
right things said at just the right time.
AND
~For Jim and Amanda, who, though I may not talk
to or see them any time soon (I've been
hurt too badly to consider it), have
started everything which has led me to
these conclusions. I Love you both, but I
can't stand to see either of you right
now. Please understand that I have been
hurt. But I'm feeling better and am on my
way to recovering. What hasn't killed me
has made me stronger, and I thank you for
that... and while I may curse you for the
pain now, please know that I will someday
soon be free of the mental burden and will
return.
