Hi Jack!
How are you? I miss you Where are you off to this time? I can't believe I'm just a couple weeks out from the end of the year! In between all the studying, it occured to me that we met around this time of year four years ago. Can you believe it's already been four years? Sometimes I can't believe I was ever that girl that you met back then, and then other times I feel like I can't escape her. But, I guess that's kind of harsh. I don't hate who I was back then, I just feel a little sorry for all the things I didn't realize I was missing out on. It's been a while since I retrospected to the point I felt like I needed to thank you again, but here we are.
So, thank you, Jack. Thank you for coming into my life when you did. Thank you for befriending me and for making me feel safe and loved enough to take the leap. You are my best friend, and I have never regretted meeting you or running away with you. I love you I think the only think I regret is that we haven't had enough time over the years to actually spend together. Don't get me wrong, I've loved our letters and emails and getting the chance to go to school and pursue my degree, but it's just not the same as quality in-person time.
So far, it looks like I'm going to have more time than usual this summer. I'm not taking any classes, and I haven't gotten any of the internships I've applied for. I really thought I'd have my pick of offers, but maybe that was my pride talking? I haven't really had any time off since I started school that first fall, and I know you've told me many times that I don't need to worry about the money side of things, but it feels like taking advantage to let you pay for my expenses if I'm not taking any classes or working. So, I'm thinking that if none of the internships come through, I might look into picking up a regular job of some kind. I think I could manage a register in a shop just fine at this point. God knows I couldn't have four years ago! But I've learned so much since then, and most of the time, this world feels like my normal now.
When do you think you'll be able to come up for a visit?
