i cant sit here with a easy conscience and let you say youve wasted your year. you have made every chance ive gotten to see you and absolute delight and privledge. ive looked forward to every IM, every facebook message, and every little cell fone conversation that's concerned both of us. you were always there wen i was havin the most horrible day and you cheered me up somehow, in that way you do. for you to say you have accomplished nothing this year is a lie, both for yourself and for me. you kept up with you work work and still managed to pump out those papers in the middle of the nite. i will always have the utmost respect for you. and i can honestly say, i cant imagine how i would get through my life without you in it.
 

julie, i have to agree with the above statement. youre one of the few girls who I can talk to for hours and hours and not get bored. You have a zany personality that is hard to come by, not to mention the way you care about your friends so much. you did accomplish something. we rekindled what i was afraid we'd lost. i still regret it and im still deeply sorry. but we have cali to look forward to. you were there for me during my depression and alot of other things that i went through and whether you know it or not, our late night insomnia driven talks kept me from repeating past mistakes, bringing furthers scars. you were one of the biggest influences on me and i feel priveleged to have ever stumbled across you one year ago. it was fate ;-) as for boys, who needs em. lets just elope.

just please know that i am going to miss you terribly next year. but i cherish all the times we do see eachother, because honestly, they are some of the best nights of my life. i love you julie
 

Hey,
People do care about you, so see, you didn't waste a year. I confess I feel kind of similar lately; probably those 'graduation blues'. We all look back on our lives, whether it's a year, or 4, or a lifetime, and have regrets. Certainly the memories, no matter how strong, will never match the living through them, and people can never get that back, but what matters is in present, and the future. If you lived, if you were happy even a little this last year, then it wasn't a waste. No one can say what comes next, and 100 years on this Earth is never enough time to experience it all (10,000 wouldn't be, at least for me), so all we can do is say "okay, so, starting today, I will live." Live for the moment, live for the future. Heck, just live. Enjoy it, appreciate it, have fun with it, flaunt it. There will be good times, and bad, and maybe you'll feel it's going too fast, or not fast enough, or whatever. At least you have the capacity TO feel, which is better than dirt, or a lamp, or a cup. So you feel like you wasted a year; what would you have done with it? Do that with *this* year. And if you make mistakes, so what; get up and try again. You're still young, there's plenty of time for mistakes.

Well, didn't mean to get so... deep? Eh. The point is, there are people who don't think you wasted your time, who you made happy *points to the ppl above*. So something good came about, after all.
