A Nice Forward

[newbie]

This is a little bit cheesy, and is mostly about HS--but I think that everyone can relate to it. Also I thought the forward would be sweet to share .

To All My Friends
Somewhere between 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 between 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 between all
of the changing & growing.. Somewhere between 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 its 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 isnt the parties or the drinking... 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 OLD & 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.

SO MORAL OF THE STORY--DON'T EVER FORGET YOUR FRIENDS OR TAKE THEM FOR GRANTED!!! Try to do a nice thing for one of them each day!
