I just got to say you've always had a way with words...and you always know how to put a smile on my face. Thank you

Long Goodbye

I am on the verge of going back to you. I need to reassure myself that my choice is the right choice. I know for a fact what I want, but I keep coming back to what I left. I know I don't want to go back to the way things were because one way or another, the results are gonna stay the same, but somehow I just keep reminiscing. Although there were GREAT times, I just can't see myself going through the same crap I went through. But I loved those times; the laughs, the sweet talks, the warmth I felt when I was in your arms...but all good things come to an end. You are going away in a couple of weeks. I hope you already realized how big of a step you're taking into the real world. You're not gonna be in high school anymore. You're rarely gonna see the old faces you see at school, better yet, you're rarely gonna see me. I am going to miss you. I wished that we could've spent your last months in high school together, but bad karma came around. I hope what I'm saying will clear things up for you. I know I've been making things seem like I want to start things over, but I don't. How can we start over when things are already coming to an end? The school year is basically over. It took us two months to start talking again, but its too late. The thing that's gonna hurt me the most is not being able to see you as much as I used to. I rarely get to talk to you because, apparently, you don't have your phone anymore. I can't talk to you in person because I don't know how to approach you. Things are just too "awkward". Last Friday was the first time in months I physically came in contact with you, when you bumped into me during lunch. I honestly didn't see you, and my friends say the "didn't see you" either. Even though its a lame way to get close to you, I'd replay that moment any day. DAMMIT! There I go again...going back & reminiscing. I don't like the way things are but I have to accept it. There is no way in hell that I can get you to stop doing the sh*t I don't want you to be doing, but I'm strong enough to accept it...well at least I'd like to think I am. I hope this clears up any second thoughts in your mind. As of now, I don't want to regret anything. I hope the best for you. I hope things go well for you in the future, and hopefully some day, we can be close again just how it used to be...consider this a long goodbye.

Love,
Ria

Hard to Realize.

"People will never change for anybody, only for themselves." -Madeleine Custodio

Some things in life are meant to be confusing, it helps keep the mind going. Things are meant to be figured out, just like life. You never know what "life" will throw at you, but one thing is for sure...realization. You realize a lot of stuff...from the way you change and the way others change. I've come to realize that my mom's quote is true, how people will never change for anybody, not even their significant other, but only for themselves. I always believed that I can make a difference in someone's life, but HELL, I was wronggg! I would stress for days, weeks, and months just to try to change someone for the better, but as I kept trying, I realized that I am not making any progress. People will change only for themselves...if they want to lose 10 pounds, they will stay at the gym for an extra hour or two. If they want to get an A on a test, they will stay up until 2 in the morning studying. As I came to this realization, it saddened me. I wasted all that time trying to change you, while I could've have been doing something that would have at least progressed. I am not saying that I regret trying to help you because I don't. I just wanted you to show me that you appreciate how much I care enought to stick by you for weeks telling you that what you're doing now is wrong. I really don't want to sound like a control freak, but seriously, YOU'RE EFFIN' UP YOUR LIFE! I know you're so much better than that...you're greater than you think. FUHH! If it takes this much to make you realize this, than I don't know what to do anymore. You're on the verge of losing the BEST thing in your life...YOUR BEST FRIEND. That fool has stuck by you like no other! He's put up with your b*llshit for months! You guys accomplished so much, and you're gonna throw all that away for something so stupid and useless? If so, then obviously that sh*t you've been taking in has f*cked up your brain!

I've come to realize that you can't change somebody, but only impact them.
It may be hard to realize, but that's life.
