I was thinking today. You know, since it’s such a rare experience. Obviously.
Moving on. I was thinking about friends. Sounds like a dull topic, maybe, but I wanted to talk about them for a little bit.
I had a couple friends in primary school, although the only good one was Rachel, really. And once we split up for middle school, things started going downhill fast.
I mostly hung out with these two girls, not naming names. But it was more of a convenience thing. I needed someone to sit with at lunch, and they needed someone to complain to. For most of my “friendship” with them, they were mad at each other. I spent most of my sixth grade life hanging out with one or the other, listening to them gripe about the other.
7th grade we kind of grew apart, and I started hanging out with a group of guys, playing basketball. Some of those guys I’d known since elementary, so I’m still on fairly friendly terms with them. Only one of those guys I still talk to routinely, and that was after two or three years of hating him on and off. There was a lot of stuff that went into that. Long three years.
8th grade was much better, well, in the MAKING friends department. Because a lot more people hated me that year. But I stopped hanging out with the jerky guys, and met the group of girls I still hang out with.
Ninth grade was incredible incredible. And tenth grade has been even better.
So this is what I’m getting at. I’ve had ups and downs all through the years, and I was pretty depressed for a lot of middle school. And I honestly don’t think I’d be the same person without my freinds. Especially lately, when I have so many people to turn to when I have a bad day. I just wanted to let everyone know that I’m not taking any of you for granted. I know what it’s like to be alone, and that sucked. I may be introverted, but everyone has limits. So thank you, Cody Rachel Taylor Robert Bart Craig Dylan Brittany Kelli Mia Danika Kenzie Robert Trevor Sean Morgan Mike Jacob Megan David Riley Kate Ben Jared Liz Kevin Nick Hudson and anyone I might have forgotten in my sleepy but gratful state.
Thank you all.
