I realized something very important tonight.
God may have the ONE planned for you.
But it is very possible, to be in love with more than one person at a time.
I said 5 hard goodbyes tonight.
2 hurt more than the others.
(over the past week, I've also learned, my nose burns right before I cry.)
Yesterday I said goodbye to Mr. Dunn.
Today, Mrs Fishburn.
Tonight, William, Kelcey, and Blaine.
Chris and Stickley.
I hated how I always seemed to switch in the blink of an eye with those two, until tonight I realized: I was never switching. Both were a constant. I've been in love with Chris since 8th grade, and Stickley since 9th.
I can see myself with either of them, for the rest of my life.
Stickley and I know more things about each other than most people do, and he's my best friend.
Chris is an incredible person, and wants all the same things in life I do. We have a ton of the same interests and stuff.
I have that in both of them. And what I don't have in one, its true in the other.
I won't see Chris until Christmas; Stickley, November.
In 4 months, am I going to remember Chris' laugh? And how it makes me smile stupidly?
Will I still be laugh at everything Stickley does? And still make him laugh?
I feel in this case a comment is appropriate. That way it has the chance to be a surprise when you need one.
ReplyDeleteI like to think you'll always remember Chris' laugh, and you'll always laugh at Stickley's Stickleyness. In the grand scheme of things, however, that's probably not that important.
What I would venture to say is most important is that you'll remember them. They'll remember you. I've always heard that high school friends are rare to have in life after college, but when you find a rare friend like them it breaks the mold.
You're an amazing person, and anyone who doesn't see that in you at college is blind. Honestly though, so much of me looks up to you, and I know you're going to be amazing!
I love you a ton, and wish you the greatest college experience ever!
