Letters to my long lost friends:
Da'Shayla:
We met when we were 11 years old in the 6th grade! We were never super close but I did have a lot of fun with you riding on the bus home from school, making those cool string lanyards, eating candy, and just talking about life. I think you got kicked out of the school we were going to because one day you just transferred to the other school in our city. We later went to the same high school as well but I never talked to you. I would see you around, I wanted to talk to you but I just never did, probably because my shyness and social anxiety. I wish you would have talked to me, we would could have continued our friendship into so many years. I never did add you on Face Book. I don't know that I even ever seen a profile for you on Face Book, so I do not know where you are now or how you are doing. I haven't talked to you since I was about 12 and I haven't seen you since I was 14. I hope you are doing well, maybe I will try and find you on Face Book too.

We met when were about 12 years old and in the 6th grade as well! We only hung out outside of school one time, and that was to go to the movies to see the Lemony Snicket Movie. Other than that we were in school friends too. You were my best friend at PE, we were buds, we always grouped together and it was very fun to hang out with you. I was glad that I had a friend to talk to through the beginning of my middle school years. We were pretty much BFF's all through 6th grade but when 7th grade started you changed. You got a new BFF, Livia. I remember she was in out PE class too, and you would always pick her over me. Over time you became more and more like Livia and you guys kinda just exiled me and became your own BFF's. You were doing things together outside of school and hanging out with guys, something I was not doing yet. I remember you liked her BF Danny and used to obsess over him. I always felt bad for you through that time, wondering if you would ever get over him and realize he was with Livia. I am sad that our friendship drifted the way it did, it really does suck. After middle school, we went to separate high schools. Later on down the road I found you on Face Book and you apparently had moved to Georgia to go to college there. We haven't talked on Face Book at all. I do not know that I am interested in talking to you all that much, while we did have fun when we were 12 it seems like we grew into two completely different people.

I met you when I was 13 and in the 7th grade! We were really close. It had been a while since I had a friend as close as you, you were much needed and I greatly appreciated our friendship. We had fun in school and out. We always hung out on the bus together, and talked about our crushes, and gossiped about other people, oh and I can't forget ate candy lol! Out of school, we went to Cypress Gardens (which is now Lego Land), birthday parties, and just hung out at each others houses. This was the age were we stopped playing and more like just hung out doing random things like getting on the computer or going for a walk around the block. We did get into some fights because our personalities did clash sometimes, but we got over those quickly. I remember one time you put your pants in the dryer and it burned them! I still think about that moment today, not sure why. We drifted when middle school was over and we attended different high schools. We still stayed in contact somewhat but not really. We remained friends on Myspace until that eventually went out of style and people moved on to Face Book. I recently with in the past year found you on Face Book. We got to talking and even texting. I thought for a minute there that we may become good friends again, but then you told me that you were moving to some far away state, I think Colorado or something like that. We could have still been texting buddies, but I am not really one for texting, it bores me and I run out of things to say, I would much rather hang out in person, which is not possible. Maybe one day you will move back to Florida and we will hang out again, I would enjoy that.

We met when were were 14 and in the 8th grade! I think it was the first week of 8th grade and you were new to my school. You brought along with you your BFF Nikki, who I was never really fond of to be honest. We hung didn't have any classes together but we hung out together before classes started and while we waited for the bus. We were even bus callers together. It turned out you lived right down the road from me so we got to ride the bus home together and hang out after school sometimes. We sometimes worked on homework together or played with your cats. You always seemed kind of prissy and I felt like you thought you were better than me. Even though you were my BFF I was not your BFF, that was always Nikki, I could never compete. This upset me, you used to always tell me about all the fun things you and Nikki were going to do together and it made me feel really left out that I could never be included. Never the less you we still had fun together. Once 9th grade came around, we started high school together, my dad used to drive you to school in the mornings with us, and we would hang out before school together. You were really into boys though, and I was not. You always seemed to have a new BF or a guy you wanted to talk to, and you always drug me along and I felt like the third wheel, but you were the best friend I had so I dealt with it. We tried out for soccer together, and made a new friend, Nikki (a different one). You and Nikki both made the team and I did not, this is where we drifted apart. You now wanted to hang out with one of the two Nikki's or your BF and had no time for me. I was forced to go make new friends as many people are. I later added you on Face Book as well but we don't talk. I think we have clashing life styles and I do not know that we would be all that good of friends is we started hanging out again.
