Cobby called me last night (of course he only calls when I am ASLEEP and NOT AWAKE!) and he was crying. I was very sad, because I had just FINISHED crying and I was not really in the mood to do MORE crying but he got me all started again. He's so sad about all the seniors who are leaving and as am I, but still, I cannot help it. As Abra said to me though, if they never left, we'd never be able to come in. Soon enough, we'll be the seniors who are leaving and we'll have a whole troop of ninth graders and tenth graders who cry through the whole youth conference the way I did. We have to take them leaving as a good thing. We have to see it as our way in. Andy said that he didn't see the conference as an ending, but as 20 new beginnings. These seniors are going to move on in life. I may not want them to, but they're going to, and there's really nothing I can do except love, care, and support them through it. I will stay with my friends, in life, in love, and in spirit through all of my days. And eventually, I'll learn how to spell. Cobby said that him, Andy, and Dan Nye we're gonna start a band! I think that would be FREGGIN AMAZING. And then, when they're rich and famous, I can be like "HEY THOSE ARE MY BESTEST FRIENDS!" and people will not believe me until they see the pink monkey that they bought me. I'm trying so hard not to cry that I'm just making things that are illogical and insane and all in all just not going to help me in the long run. Somebody's signing lord, Kum Bi ya WHOOAAAAOOO Somebody's singing lord, Kum bi ya. I have all these songs stuck in my head, and they're so beautiful. And it hurts me to know that I'll never be able to sing them with my amazing friends ever again. But it's ok. Because I will have NEW amazing friends. It's going to be alright. Everything is going to be alright. Be strong, believe.
