The following is a description of some important people in my life, without mentioning their real names (I used fake ones)

(in no particular order)
Hannah - you are a great female friend of mine. Even in the short ish amount of time that I’ve really known you, we’ve developed a strong bond that I hope continues to grow stronger. At first it took multiple hours of shopping and eating dinner and driving for me to even attempt to open up but since then I’ve been so encouraged by your strength given all circumstances involved in your life. And despite your troubles, you still find time to hold your friends up when they are struggling. You are truly an inspiration.

Annie – you are also a great female friend. I’ve known you longer than Hannah, but still, it hasn’t been all that long of a time, especially looking at the times we’ve actually been in the same neighborhood. In the past couple of months, our friendship has been renewed immensely and I wouldn’t trade that for anything. Sometimes you care and focus too much on other people and school and work that you forget to give yourself time to relax. You are realizing this though, so it’s time to work on that!

Michael – I’ve known you all my life and we’ve been around each other for most of that time. The past few years we’ve been going our separate ways but that’s growing up I guess. Over those past few years you’ve matured a lot. I kind of don’t want you to have matured sooo much because that means less stupid fun, but it does mean more meaningful conversation and experiences, which I guess are more important. We won’t ever completely lose our idiocy, so that’s good. I am looking forward to a summer full of you.

Gary – Well, similarly to Michael, the past few years we have experienced less and less of each other. Again, thus is life. You are or maybe you were once my biggest competition in anything. Sports, music, school. You won most battles, but I relished in your defeats. I am always encouraged by your intellectual point of view and you bring me to see things from angles that I hadn’t before seen. I shall see you soon my brother, you ridiculously good looking Man.

Kelly – We’ve definitely had our ups and downs. But through it all we are still somehow friends. You’ve been there for me when I desperately needed it, and vice versa. You are a gorgeous young woman after God’s heart and you care for everyone way too much more that you care about yourself. However, you want to be successful, and to this point, I think you’ve done that. You’ve struggled through school and jobs and you are still going strong, even if you don’t feel like you are. For everything about yourself that you think is bad, there are two great qualities.

Chris – You and I basically run together, and not physically either. I’ve known you for the shortest amount of time on this list but since then it’s just been good time after great time after fantastic time. I really love playing music with you whenever. It’s just a freeing feeling because for the most part when we play it’s not about structure or routine but it’s about just having fun and really enjoying what we are doing.

Johnny – We should hang out more than we do but that’s coming hopefully. I love the randomness that ensues after we decide to chill or hangout or whatever. We’ve had some great talks while my car died and hopefully many more to come, sans the car dying part.

Jack – Dude, I miss you and late nights just because that’s what is supposed to happen. I am always encouraged by your heart for God, it’s so strong and really amazes me, but it also challenges me because awesome things are happening in your life so therefore I want great things to happen to me which in turn causes me to strive toward God more.
