i just got out of bed because i couldn't go to sleep. i couldn't go to sleep because i was doing this thing that i do every great once in a while, where i just think about people from my past that are no longer in my life for whatever reason. even when i wasn't necessarily really close with a person, i still feel a tinge of regret that not having expressed my appreciation of them when they were around. we just sort of stumble to and fro, without ever knowing when our life is about to really change. more often than not, we don't realize when we're with someone that it's the last time that we'll ever see them.

so, for all of the people who are currently in my life, i want to express my appreciation of you. thank you for being my friend and for being awesome. i am glad you are in my life.

for those of you are were in my life at one point or another, and aren't now for whatever reason, thank you for having been important to me. i'm really glad we got to have the experiences we had, and hopefully we can have them again someday.

thank you all so much.
