A Note to Those Who Care

A note for those who care. 
A note for those who understand. 
A note for those I've lost along this journey, 
And for those who are still there. 

Four years. Not so long right?

Forever. 

Good and bad. Always good and bad. There can't be any good if there isn't some bad. 
Thanks for the bad. 
For the nights of turmoil, panic and paranoia that tore me to the soul and taught me that I could survive. 
For the attachment and emotion and obsessive hold, that caused convulsion, and taught me to endure. 
For the vomit, nausea and agony which taught me its not that important. 
For the demons and violence I saw unfold before my eyes in the form of an innocent that taught me these things do happen. 
For the miscommunication and the loss of a friend to teach me there can be forgiveness. 
For cold bricks on summer nights which taught me revenge is sweet. 
Thanks, to college. 

Thanks for the good. 
For the first encounters, smiles and laughs which taught me there will always be friends. 
For spontaneity, impulse and fun which taught me there are more important things in life. 
For Blue, and coffee and philosophy, which taught me the night ain't so scary after all. 
For six a.m. sunrise and a complete paper, which taught me that goals can be met. 
For the friend in the next room over, watching that six a.m. sunrise too. 
For diversity, difference and characters, which taught me patience. 
For forgiving me, I missed you. 
For standing with me, man, every night along the way. It's been a great ride, and I'm proud of you.
And thanks again, to college.

What a wonderful declaration of thanks. Well-penned.
