Anna: Thanks

I was suicidal once upon a time, in junior high and my first year of high school, before I met most of you. I've never felt quite that way again, and I really think its because of you. Even if we don't see each other much anymore or even speak much, we always seem to pick up where we left off. You are literally the best friends I have ever had, and I don't know what I'd do without you.

I know we might (probably will) go separate ways in life. Our horizons will expand as we learn and grow and include more and more people in our personal bubbles, and that's okay. I'm lucky to have had you guys, and to still have you in whatever capacity I do. Sometimes I honestly don't know why people keep me around, but I think I'm starting to care less and less. I know its possible to choose a family instead of simply being born into a broken one. And the fact that I've had that experience, that I've had all of you, for however long or short a time, keeps me alive.

I'm trying to be happy. Its easy some days and unbelievably difficult some others. But I'm trying.
