the following people mean the world to me. they have been there for me during my most difficult times. they are more than just friends to me, they are like my family - they are some the only people that truly understand me; the only people who know how to make me laugh, how to make me cry at times, and how to cheer me up when i'm down. they are some of the only people who really know how to put a smile on my face...
stephanie &hearts
i love this girl with all my heart
over the past month, we have definitely become closer, closer then we were when we were kids. we've become each other's true friends and we help cope with each other's problems and concerns. she helps me deal with chemotherapy and friendship issues, while i help her cope with a recent loss.
and while we hang out with each other, i learn more about her that i've never really know, and i enjoy spending time with her. she is the one true friend and only friend whom i can share my deepest and truest feelings and thoughts, and she provides feedback to how i should deal my situations. i don't know what it is about her that makes me so comfortable to tell her everything that bothers me, and she understands me.
i will always love her, no matter what decisions she makes in her life, i will respect and support her in any and every choice she makes. i'll will be there for her when she needs me, and she's there for me when i need her.
you know what the coolest part about being her friend is?? she lives right next door to me! we can see each other whenever we want for as long as we want.
love you stephanie.
you are truly unique in your own way...
patrick
this guy has done wonders for me... patrick and i have known each other for about three years now through full force percussion. patrick spent my 17th birthday with me, when i got out of the hospital from being there for a whole week, he went and cut his hair with me, and he was my prom date. it's all out in the open, and he's known for a little while now...i love patrick! =]
we are always debating on what our favorite band is, and so far it's between paramore and kings of leon, but he always says he likes both the same, and so do i. we're both musicians, he's the badass marimba/contra player, i'm the unique bass drummer, and we're both good at what we love doing most, and that's being in each other's lives. patrick is truly unique and different from my other guy friends: he's sweet, friendly, polite, and always knows how to make me laugh.
i &hearts him with all my heart and i'm glad that he is a part of my life. he is one of the few that makes my life worth living.
ben
most of the time, we are very straight-forward with each other. he can be stupid but he is mature (lol). i love and see him as a brother. we jokingly fight, act like dorks, and we love competing against each other by almost all and any means. he always knows how to make me laugh, probably because i'm very sensitive to humor, but it is quite difficult to make him laugh, even though sometimes i try my hardest and it still doesn't make the cut in his book. he is one of the few that kept in touch with me after high school, and i love him for that. he is just utterly amazing and a cow (jk jk, looove yoooou ben!). but he is definitely a true friend to me, and i have a pretty good feeling we're going to be friends for quite a while and i hope during that while we'll create many good memories together.
we're still young, we've got a long way to go.

carmen
carmen is my party girl! we met through full force percussion as well, becoming one of the closest bff's in the whole ensemble. we do have our ups and downs, but no friendship is perfect. all that matters is as long as she needs me in her life, then i'll need her in mine. when i'm down, she's the person to talk to about my problems, giving me some of the best advice a friend can give and helping me get back up on my feet. i just try to inspire her to be the best she can be as well, texting her inspiring "words of wisdom" (lol), and of course regardless of how she is and how she acts, i will always love her and be there for her, for better or for worse.
love ya baby doll! <3
ceekay
ck and i go back a long way...! we have known each other for quite a long time now, and we have a rather weird friendship. we manage to keep our friendship going with text messages and myspace, even though we never really see each other or hang out, lol, but we make it work. we've had our ups and downs in the past, but again and again, the past is the past and there's no turning back to fix the damage, all we can really do is focus on our future friendship and what will turn out to be.
but i do love this kid with all heart...
(&& he knows that well! ;-D)
and i'll always be there for him, for better or for worse.
love ya kiddo!
destiny
she reminds me of myself at times, because we were both diagnosed with same leukemia and she is just as strong and as brave as i am. she has gone through so much worse than i have been through, which has made her stronger, mentally and physically, than me. i truly look up to destiny as a role model, (lol) even though she is only a year younger than me. being destiny's friend has helped me see that there are a whole lot of people just like us and that we're not alone. i love destiny to death, she has become one of my bestest friends.
love you forever D.! <3
