友達を愛してる！

This is the second time, I think, I posted a blog like this. I realize quite often the wonderful friends I have in my life. And I would like to take this time to say thank you to specific individuals who have influenced my life greatly. ^___^ <3

Firstly, I love you mommy. You've fed me since I was little and although you get pissed at me a lot, you still stick through. I admire you so much, for all you've been through and all you're enduring at this very moment. You never gave up on me. Thank you for having such high expectations of me, it's making me have high expectations of myself as well, which is making me persevere and always try harder. Thank you so much. <33

Daddy, you're the most chillll person ever. Thank you for being so supportive when mommy can't. Thanks for approving of everything; because of you, I get to live this wonderful, worry-free life. Thank you for spending money on me and giving me money without much hassle. I get to really enjoy my teenage years like this. Thank you for sheltering me in a bubble until I'm old enough to realize reality by myself. I love you!!

Natalie, Natto, Natbutt, Natrat. You're currently my best friend, and you're, like, 1 out of 3. There has only been 3 people really actually close to me, and you're one of them. Thanks for being supportive, being funny, being open-minded, and such. I think your personality is making me become more outgoing. I also think that if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know how to fight for my opinion. You're probably the brightest thing I had in these past 2 years. Thanks for sharing your sunshine. ^___^

Jennifer, thank you. You showed me that the world isn't always happy. You showed me reality and what it was like to hate. And that I don't HAVE to like everything just 'cause someone else does. If it weren't from you, I probably wouldn't be such a leader-type, or be so willing to change, or anything else. I'd probably be listening to R&B or whatever everyone else is listening to. You showed me how great it is to be different, to stand out, and to do something 'cause I like it. ^____^ Thanks!

Tammiiiieeee. You are such a happy flower, it's wonderful! Your perspectives, way of looking at things, and ability to be inspired easily is spreading to me too. I think you have also contributed to my outgoing-ness. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't be so fashion-conscious, would still be a nerdy, shy person, and would probably never have the guts to do anything I have the guts to do now. You showed me what it was like to think of the future, to have dreams and goals, to imagine of the possibilities. Thanks for that. ^____^

Anna...hmm, you were probably only the second person I have ever felt so close with. We somewhat drifted away, but it was nice while it lasted. I am so happy I had that experience with you. To know what a real best friend is like. We shared many, many happy memories. I'm glad I met you in Chinese school. You've made me a more open-minded person, and to respect other people's opinions as well. ^___^ Thank you so much.

Kimberlyyyy. I'm so glad I became friends with you that day. You showed me what it was like to laugh until your stomach hurts. The first time I really laughed so hard were the times with you. We were really close, but I think all we did was laugh and share jokes; nothing personal, emotional, or anything. But I guess it was 'cause we were young back then. But thank you. You showed me that happiness could be gained in a form of a fantasy world, and I am truly happy you showed me that.

Yoshiko, Kimberley, Mimi, Colleen, etc. Thanks for making me feel at home! If it weren't for you guys, I would have never gone to AX07. I would have never gotten so into anime/manga. It was really nice meeting you, and I hope we can continue playing together, online and in real life. You guys made sure it was comfortable around with everyone, and it was so nice and homely. To be honest, I spent so much time during that summer on TeniPuriDSP, it was literally like my home on the internet. Thanks, I had a wonderful time when we met up and everythingg. <3 Let's keep in touch and continue to plaaaaaaaay!

Breyanna Mendozaaaaa. Thanks for watching my back all the time. You're such a bubbly person to hang out with, and it just gives me a fuzzy feeling inside whenever I'm near you. ^____^ MY self-esteem has probably gone waaaay up in the past 2 years I've known you. I'm also always so proud to say, "I'm the only Asian that Bree actually likes," or "I have Bree to watch my back." Thanks for being so nice to me, supportive, and everything. If it weren't for you, I'd probably be still a little nerdy girl, pushing away from society. Thanks for being you, 'cause I truly admire your courage, strength, and honesty. You're like an epic warrior! <3

Tiffany, you're pretty much the reason why I miss Chinese school. I am so glad I befriended you guys after Anna quit. It's so nice that I have gotten to know you. It's pretty awkward hanging out with the guys, you know. D: But thanks so much. And thank you, for telling me to BELIEVE, because I think that I can really start believing much more now. Seriously, you are such an awesome friend to have. I hope we can grow closer the more we see each other! ^___^

I am probably missing a lot of people, but these are the ones who stomp all over my heart, and when I try to smooth out the footsteps, stomp all over it again. Thanks for doing it; you guys are the ones who make my day, who encourage me to get back up on my feet, who make it worthwhile to wake up the next day. Because of you guys, it is the reason why I am looking forward to a new day, to new beginnings with you. Because of you guys, my life up until now, will keep moving forward. I regret many things that I DIDN'T do in the past, but the things I DID do together with you guys make up for it. Thanks so much, just for being there and allowing me to be friends with you.
