Today is a special day to me. No need to explain but the one who knows shares this day as well. It’s been a long year, lots of ups, plenty of downs. I made new friends, found love and lost myself a little on the way. No regrets though because at one time everything I experienced was something that made me happy at one point in time. Like my tattoo says, “Never a failure, always a lesson”. The past is where you learn the lesson, the future is where you apply it.
So much has happened since last February. People have hurt me, I’ve hurt others. It’s a vicious cycle that has to end. I find myself wanting to be spiteful at times and get back at people who still continue to hurt me but what does that do for me in the end!?! Revenge makes me no better than them. I just want to take the time to thank everyone who has been there for me in this past year. If I forgot you I apologize…..
Mom - you have been nothing but an inspiration to me this past year. I’ve felt that I have been able to open up to you more than I ever could before lately and it means so much to be able to share so much with you. I love you.
Janine - you have been there countless nights and days listening to me complain, hearing my stories over and over and giving me the same advice time after time. Even though I chose to always do the opposite from what you said you were still there to listen. Thanks for being patient with me.
Jessica - I’m sorry that I have strained our relationship. Even thought we aren’t as close anymore I still consider you my best friend. I just want to apologize for any stress I may have caused. I know it’s hard to see someone close struggle and I thank you for sticking by my side. Still my ROD and hopefully one day we can mend that.
Garris - boo even though you are far from me I still appreciate the talks and encouragement I love you bitch, you’re still stupid :-p. thanks for always being a great friend while I was close and after I moved. Love you.
Treshona - you my friend are great. I appreciate the texts with just a smiley face or a heart just to let me know you are thinking about me. I wish you would move back home. IMY!!
Tiffany - you are amazing!! Thank you for sitting down and talking to me that one night and getting my friends involved. I don’t want you to think I was mad. I appreciate your love and support. You’ve become a great friend to me.
Shanise - I’m glad I met you and we were able to become close over the past several months. We are both dealing with “life” as it comes and I know you understand me. Thanks for getting me out of the house every now and then to get my mind off things lol. We need a girls night soon! *muah*
Al - we’ve had a few talks and you were very encouraging to me. I miss our friendship. You were always a great friend when I needed you. To you I say I’m sorry for drifting apart. I’d like to nurture it back one day if that makes sense. I appreciate that you are still in my life even if its only a little bit. Thanks love!
Arch - thanks for talking to me last week. I know you care and that means a lot. The same goes for you. I want to see more of you!! We had a great friendship before and it’s partly my fault but everyone fell off at the same time. Regardless, I know you’re still in my corner.
Donald - man where can I start with you. You have been my nig since day 1!! I really want to thank you for everything and anything down to our college days. Words can’t even describe how I feel about you. You’re a blessing and an amazing friend. I love you!!
Tavis - I know we joke around a lot at work but you really are one of my great guy friends in my life right now. I’m glad I asked you questions that day when I joined your team after training lol. You give the best advice and even when you think I’m not listening I am!! Kiya is lucky to have you. Keep that girl happy fool or ill cut you!!
Wesley - l truly apologize for being a horrible friend. You were always there for me and I have done a piss poor job of reciprocating the favor. I hope you forgive me for my lack of communication and neglect of our relationship on my behalf. I’m really sorry.
Camille - the one who always tells it like it is. Even though I never really agree with you, I appreciate the honesty of the “say what you need to hear, not what you want to hear” approach. That’s you, you’re blunt and speak your mind. Every now and then I need to have someone to tell me about myself. Thank you.
Latoya - I love our lunch convos and phone calls. I appreciate any and all the help you give and sharing your stories with me. You’re a wonderful person and I look up to you. Thank you for listening.
Terry - always putting a smile on my face at work. Even on my bad days you can still make me laugh. Thanks for being a friend. You’re a great person inside and out!!
Taylor - cheers to strangers who become new friends. It was a blessing that you found my blog and I was able to inspire and motivate you. You have been an inspiration to me over the past couple weeks and I thank you. Keep pushing!!
HHH - what can I say, I love you. The past year has had a lot of great laughs, fun and development. We have watched each other grow, changes in our lives have occurred and we were lucky to be apart of them at those given times. To love someone is great, to be in love with someone is even greater and sometimes you have to love someone from a distance and that’s ok as long as they know you still care. It’s refreshing to have that love from you whether near or far.
Each person in my life good or bad I’m glad you were there. Thank you to all the special people in my life, without you I’d have nothing.
Love,
Andy xoxo
