I have said it a million times that I owe my life to the band Linkin Park for saving me from an untimely, self-induced end to my life and now I would like to thank all of those who have stepped up since then and helped me continue my existence.
Two in particular, one friend that I know in real life and one that I have yet to meet, but have learned so much from already.
To Alli, my bestest friend, who taught me to embrace my strangeness and put it out there for everyone to see. I’ve learned that hiding in the shadows isn’t the way to get noticed and ever since we became friends, I’ve gotten noticed a lot more. People have told me I seem different, but in a good way and I can only smile and keep the secret to myself. Having a good best friend in your life will change you for the better, so thank you my love. I owe you. Can’t wait to come to Oregon and see you and eventually start a new life there with you and the boys.
Second, to Samantha Bennington, your words and encouragement are not wasted on me. I take what you say to heart and attempt positivity before I let the negative things take over and prevent me from doing something that could potentially make my life better. If it weren’t for your caring words and gestures, I doubt I would have the guts to do some of the things I’ve needed to do to make my life better. I’m slowly learning to rid myself of toxic friends and keep the ones that really matter. I look forward to the day that we finally meet! Thank you so much, Sam, I owe you so much. Love you, mama! xoxoxoxoxo
Now, this is not to exclude anyone else who has helped change my life, but these two women have had the most positive influence on me and I am enjoying this happier, smilier me. So, thank you ladies. Love you lots.
