Here goes it

Ten things I wish I could say to ten different people

10. Im a history major, and one thing that I've learned is that history always repeats itself. Our past has had a funny way of reinforcing this theory. There is a common pattern with us that never works out. So I opt to just be friends and accept it for what it is. You amaze me when you play the victim role but I now see that its just you. And maybe i dont take as much responsibility as I should...but such is life. Just know that the last time, it hurt like hell...

9. You know that when it comes to friendship, you got that shit on lock. You are the most sincere, most loving and compassionate person I know. And whats funny is that youre a guy. Thanks for staying my best friend and never judging me. (Its that Dirtyyyy Moneyyyyy)

8. When we first started talkin, I didnt think it would get as far as it got. At is peek, it was a mountain, and at its lowest, an ant hill. We go months without speaking, years without seeing, and I dont believe that just like that, we could be back in action like the good ol' days. The last time I saw you left me slightly uncomfortable and more confused. We've never even addressed the issues...like do WE forgive each other or did we just move on??

7. I know I've been a shitty aunt, I know. But when I get right I promise that you me and Zay are gonna live it up. No but seriously....

6. You surprise me...daily. There is no telling what this could ever blossom into. Nothin-ness??? Something-ness??? Right now, I think we're in limbo, somewhere floating between. I'm highly unsure about all of this, about you, your intentions, etc. But your confidence in the possibilities motivates me

5. Im sooo glad that you're back from that India/South Africa/ Argentinia voyage!!!! I honestly missed you.

4. I know im a shitty best friend, I know. But i think its mutual! WE dont make time for each other! Seems like things have been oddly distant for years now-You live youre life and I live mine. We dont talk about each others problems or we dont come to each other first when something funny happens. But no one knows me like you do; and i dont know if its vice versa but we gotta do better. Friendships are important, its the only thing the government isnt making more of.

3. Truth is, I never stopped caring about you- I just dont want to hurt you. So I dont get to close to you. But I appreciate when you text me every now and then to check on me-it means a lot some days.

2. I kinda thought we had something for a brief minute last year....maybe I was wrongggggg. We fell off but Jay and Bey sure havent

1. I think its funny that we're soo different but so close, I think our difference keep us friends. In a lot of ways I admire you..I think you're strong and bold. In some ways I wish I was more like you. Im glad that although I only see u like once a year (because u moved to cold ass Pennsylvania) we're still close friends.
