This is something given to me by a friend..who's diary name is pookie (lol....go pookie) Read Slowly... Have you ever wondered which hurts the most? Saying something and wishing you hadn't? Or saying nothing and wishing you had? I guess the most important things are the hardest things to say. Don't be afraid to tell someone you love them. If you do, they might break your heart..if you don't, you might break theirs. Have you ever decided to not become a couple because you were so afraid of losing what you already had with that person? Your heard decided whom it lies and whom it doesn't. You can't tell your heart what to do. It does it on its own...when you least suspect it, or even when you don't want it to. Have you ever wanted to love someone with everything you had, but that other person was to afraid to let you? Too many of us stay walled up because we are too afraid to care to much..for fear that the other person does not care as much, or even care at all. Have you ever denied you feelings for someone because your fear of rejection was to hard to handle? We tell lies because we are afraid..afraid of what we don't know, afraid of what others will think, or afraid of what will be found out about us. But everytime we tell a lie, the thing we fear grows stronger. Life is all about risks and it requires you to jump. Don't be a person who has to look back and wonder what they would have done, or could have had. What would you do if every time you fell in love you had to say good-bye? What would you do it everytime you wanted someone and they would never be there? What would you do if your best friend died tomorrow and you never got to tell them how you felt? (Even if it is that you don't care anymore) What would you do if you loved someone more than ever and you couldn't have them? What would you do if you never got the chance to say "I am friends with all my family and they know I love them?" People live, but people die. I want to tell you that you are my best friend. If you died tomorrow, (God forbid), you would be in my heart. Would I be in yours? You might be friends one year, pretty good friends the next year, don't talk that often the next, and don't talk at all the next year after that. No matter how oftem you talk, or how close you are, let old friends know you haven't forgotten them, and tell new friends you never will. So, I just wanted to say, even if I never talk to you again in my life, you are special to me and you have made a difference in my life. I look up to you, I respect you, truly cherish you, but most of all I care about you as a friend. Remember, everyone needs a friend. You might feel like you have NO FRIENDS at all, just remember this and take comfort in knowing somebody out there cares about you...and always will I CARE ABOUT YOU!!! All the friends that you have, all the friends that you've lost, and all the friends that you've lost touch with, just let them know you care...if you consider them a friend. Pookie thanx for giving me that...it's made me more humble..and I really am grateful for everything that I have!
