Ten statements, ten people

I stole this from an old friend's blog:

Write ten statements, intended for different people. Never tell which one is to who. Just write things you've always wanted to tell people.

1. I want you to know that despite all the drama we've been through and complaining I do, I really value our friendship. Through thick and thin, know that I am here for you and love hearing from you! They (you know who I'm talking about - haha) will come and go, but I think that you and me will always hold true.

2. Growing up with you, I haven't realized until recently how much you have taught me about myself. Even though we are like day and night, I hope that we'll continue to get past all that has happened and continue to grow closer. I know you often become frustrated with me (as I often am with you) but you are still very important to me, and I want to look out for you for all that is to come in your life.

3. You are something else. I wish I had the words to fill the facial expressions I have when I try to say what I mean, but unfortunately, this will have to do. To keep it short and sweet, I enjoy your company and hope that we can see each other every once in awhile (if you can fit me into your busy schedule!)

4. It's amazing to think about the part of your life I have witnessed, and I am so grateful to be a part of it! I know we've been through a lot but I want you to know I'm proud to see have been able to and continue to see you excel and am amazed at how far you've come, always approaching people happily and light-heartedly. I'll never forget the funny times we've had together in the years I've known you - you always know how to make me smile!

5. Dear ____, I love you to bits and pieces, but you often frustrate me when I think you have your priorities wrong. Thanks for all you have done for me in the past, I hope that the future will continue to be a prosperous one for you and that you will be able to straighten out your business.

6. To you: I hope you know I look up to you a lot! Your words and actions always have a great impact on me, and I absorb as much as I can from everything you have taught me. Thank you for being such a great mentor and role model, I think it has, and will, have made a difference in my future to have followed your footsteps using your advice and humor.

7. When I am looking for someone who will brighten my day with cheesy jokes, there you are to make me laugh! I haven't known you for long (and probably won't see you much anymore) but thanks for a good time and a good laugh the mornings I need it :)

8. I wish you and I hadn't grown far apart. I'm sure you know, but I am jealous of your new life that doesn't include me. If I have done/said anything that offended you in the past, I apologize (can we let bygones be bygones?) Maybe soon, we can reconcile and go out for dinner or something.

9. You have always been a reliable person to turn to no matter what. Your endless care, even when we have not talked for awhile, is important to me, and I hope we always keep in touch no matter how far away you are!

10. I miss you!!! I know your life has brought on bigger and better things but I hope that you remember me (I'm always thinking about you) and where your real roots are no matter where else life might take you.
