Lillian: you amaze me. You always will. You have more strength than you will ever ever know. Maybe you think you're screwing up, but isn't that life? You are probably learning more than others, others who are too afraid to make mistakes and therefore never learn. There is a quote that says "If you make the same mistake twice it's no longer a mistake, it's a choice". Part of me disagrees but a small part of me doesn't believe it. Lillian, you are like me in the sense that you let yourself be carried by your emotions. You follow your heart instead of your head. I know that it can lead to hurt. But it can also lead to happiness. It doesn't matter how many mistakes you make, I will always be here for you. Never feel like you can't talk to me about things, no matter how dark, depressing, stupid or otherwise that they seem. It makes no difference to me. I will not judge, but I will listen. Sometimes I think the same thing. I think, my friends won't get it. But if you can't trust your friends, who can you trust? If your best friends don't get it, who will? And if you don't speak it will only have more strength over you. Never feel like you are dumping problems on me, or like it will bring me down. I know I have thought this before. I have thought it isn't fair to others to drag them into my life and my problems. But there is a reason that God created us, and gave us the ability to talk, listen, and help each other. If there is one thing I have learned these past few years it is that we are meant to listen and support each other. I am here to support you. And if you ever don't want me to, well I know that you're an amazing, smart, talented, beautiful girl who will make good choices, make bad ones, screw up and learn. I hate to see you sad, but if that's ever what you need to be then don't be afraid to show it. We are only human and everyone feels the same things, and no matter what we all go through things in life that are difficult. Sometimes it is hard to understand why some people seem "luckier" than others. I have realized that is not necessarily true. Life is hard, shit happens and it is up to us to stick together and find reasons to smile.
And I would also like to say, you are hilarious and crack me up! You don't even know how funny you are. I think it must be the Finnish in you but you have such a dry sarcastic sense of humour. You are so bluntly honest and it is great to have a friend like that, someone who just says it like it is.
Georgie: I sometimes feel like we are best friends but I don't know you as well as I should. I know you from the outside: smiles and laughter and such a bubbly personality. You are the one who is always so optimistic and go-with-the-flow. I love having a best friend that I can always depend on to be cheerful and easy going. But like I said to Lillian, it is okay to let go and show how you feel. I think it is great that we all have blogs now, because it is somewhere we can write out our feelings without actually having to tell them to someone. It is a good outlet. I also feel like I am getting to know you better because of it. I keep thinking how funny it is that we were knew each other in grade 8 but weren't really friends and now we are best friends. I am so glad that I met you. You are a ray of sunshine! You make me laugh and you have such a positive outlook on life. I love your quirkiness. I love that you are not afraid of what people think. Well I know you probably are, but not as much as you think. You like the most random things, angel anaconda, harry potter (yay!), and all of those youtube videos haha. You keep me smiling when I'm feeling like it's the last thing I'll ever do. And I never ever feel like you would judge me. I love that you just accept people for who they are, little quirks and all. I love how laid back you are. And I love that you are my best friend!
Mia: Oh Mia. You crack me up. You are so honestly hilarious. Your blog post was so accurate, and I agree with it 100 percent. I swear it is fate that we met. You and me are so alike in a lot of ways. We both like to be the center of attention (don't we all) and we both like to control situations. We're quite organized (well me not as much but kind of). We love to plan and make lists. I love how spaztic you are. It cracks me up! Never tone it down cause it's awesome. You're so funny! I love those moments when we both are laughing hysterically and can't stop. Sometimes we don't even know why we're laughing. I know you can be insecure and worry a lot, we all do. But try not to! I am so excited for university and I know you will love it! As far as the whole boyfriend thing. I know I already wrote you a short novel about that, but I will say it again. You are gorgeous and any guy will be so lucky to have you! You are more mature than high school boys. Just wait till we get out of high school and into the real world! I know we will always be best friends. I love that we were planning out how our kids are going to get married. I love how we plan these things unrealistically. I love how we both get really excited about little things. I feel like we get it. We get that life is about the little things as much as it is about the big things. I love that we are losers and nerds and awkward kids and just accept it. Actually, I kind of think we flaunt it! We are who we are and we don't change for anyone else! Mia you are awesome!
