4. Never discuss it again.
5. This is in no particular order at all

Have Fun Reading!

1. I think you have a VERY bright future - your mind is in the right place, and you will achieve your goals - in time. So don't worry about a thing, it will all work out for the best, and I love you.

2. I'm glad we're friends, I enjoy having you in my life, but sometimes you make me feel very small. You're very condescending, and I don't know if you mean to be - but maybe you should be more aware of the effects it has on others.

3. I'm so glad we're friends - I enjoy our chats, too ;) We used to do this ALL the time. I hope we can keep it up. I always feel so comfortable telling you ANYTHING, and I am very very grateful for that. You have such great advice - I certainly hope you get as much out of our friendship as I do! Thank You!

4. I miss you! I can't wait to see you again - every time we're together, it's like we were never apart ;) All I want for Christmas is you!!!!!

5. Life is a two-way street, you know. But thank you for making the effort to see me. You appear happy, I hope you truly are. And I hope you're not going back to any old habits.

6. Um, you get out of life what you put in to it. I may be taking longer than most to start my life and my career - but at least I know how to enjoy it. I do not appreciate you making me feel like I have accomplished nothing and that I do not appreciate anything that has been given to me. You too, make me feel small - and I have decided that I do not need any more unnecessary negativity in my life. So the only thing I can think to do is move on to the bigger and better things that are out there waiting for me.

7. Oh, where can I begin? You are the light of my life - haha, no just kidding, but really, you amaze me sometimes with the comments you make about me - you are so intuitive and you really do know me too well. I appreciate that. And I appreciate the fact that you are willing to tell me my strengths and weaknesses in a way that won't make me feel so down on myself.

8. Thank you for always being so positive! At first, I couldn't believe someone could be so happy all the time - and now I just know, they can! And if they can't, well that's okay too. But, you have been very supportive of me, and such a wonderful listener.

9. You know I don't hate you! Why would I ever think such a thing?! I just have my 'moods' :) You truly are 'my person' :)

10. The military lifestyle is one you know so well, and you have been so encouraging to me recently. I appreciate your advice. You are a blessing to me, in this chaotic time in my life. Thank You!

11. I hate the fact that you think you are God's gift to life. I wish someone would just take you down so fast you didn't know what hit you, and I don't mean physically. You cause problems in other peoples lives that are not necessary. You think of no one but yourself. Ever. You are nothing but a gigantic thorn in my side and I will not do any favors for you ever again.

12. I'm not sure what I would do without you, and I try not to think of that day. And when I do, it makes me want to curl up in a ball and never face the world again. Please, never, ever leave me. I love you.

13. Even though you are cheap, I appreciate it for the long run. You are so smart - and as much as I want to be so annoyed with you, I have to remember where I got it!

14. You should take a step back and evaluate your priorities. Don't you have children? And a family? Shouldn't they be your priority? I think so.

15. So we don't speak much anymore, but know that I still love you, and wish you all the best. And that's all I can really think to say to you. Which I guess considering the rest, is a good thing.

16. I'm sad that we hardly see each other anymore. Either way, as long as we stay updated, I think I'll be able to survive. Can't wait to see you get married!

17. Sometimes I wish you'd find friends your own age and stay out of our lives. Then you seem so genuine - but then I have a sick feeling, you're not, at all. Less drama, more support. Thank you.

18. I am so very proud of you! You are living your dream! Thank you for all your support and encouragement, even from so far away. You are such an inspiration to so many people. I am glad you have found your place in life! But I can't wait to see you again! :)

19. I miss you! I can't believe our friendship was at its closest when we were so far apart and at such a disastrous time. I will wear your memory for as long as life allows. I love you!

20. You have been an integral part of my life. I can't imagine where I would be without the love and support of your entire family. I truly feel as though I am part of your family as well - and am very grateful for all the things I've learned from you and yours. I love you all!

this was so sincere! I really loved reading your statements. I love reading your blog - and I think it is really important during trying times to write things out - whether fun or not. I used a blog, like I've told you before, to get me through 2 deployments with Chris and help me through nearly 4 months of not being able to live together while only being about 3-4 hours apart. That was actually even harder - once you get used to the distance the military causes separating you - its harder to handle the distance you put on yourselves to move forward in life together. I thought at least.

I'm glad you have a friend who is able to help you get through this though. I basically shut down for 6 months for 1 deployment. I didn't even talk about it either, really. It hurts your heart! It's real pain. I understand too if you ever need to talk!
