Letters to my Long Lost Friends (After High School)

Ever wonder what happened to your long lost friends? This is something I think about all the time. Currently I do not have any friends, I have LOTS of acquaintances but no friends. This kind of upsets me at times but not really, as I barely have time to watch TV now a days let alone hang out with friends.

Letters to my long lost friends:

Laura:
We met when I was 18 and you were 20. One day Tiffany and I went up to where you work and I asked you if you wanted to come over to my apartment, you said yes and we became friends. We did all sorts of crazy things together but mainly we just sat around and sulked. We reached rock bottom together. We enabled each other and we were bad for each other. I do not think we really should have been hanging out at all. I got the vibe that you were using me to stay in my apartment, hang out with my friends, and for money; all the time. But I still hung out with you because I was so lonely. We did have some really fun times though doing things like walking up to the 7-11 to buy Slurpees or to the Publix to buy cupcakes. We made art together sometimes too. We were covering my wall with papers trying to make it into a rainbow. That was fun. We even went up to the pizza place you worked at to get free pizza every night. I remember you used to clean my house sometimes while I was at work or buy me random things like sodas. I felt as though you were trying to butter me up but I still accepted your offers. Laura, together we were BAD! One time you tried to convince me to shoplift from Publix with you. I am glad I didn't because I later saw you got caught and spent 3 months in jail. You hooked me up with alcohol all the time and enabled me. Without you I do not know that I would have ever gotten as addicted to it as I did. Eventually you tried to kill yourself and got sent away. I never saw you again. I really felt for the longest time that that was my fault because the day you almost killed yourself, I bought you alcohol and you were depressed. Instead of coming to my house you went to yours to drink alone. I heard from some people that you got out of the mental institution and moved to Wisconsin with a guy that you met. I also heard you broke up with him and moved back? Who knows. I hope you are doing well but I do not wish to ever talk to you again. You introduced me to a very bad man who did very horrible things to me and you knew before hand what he was capable of because he did those same horrible things to you. I forgive you but I do not think that I could ever bring myself to be your friend or even acquaintance again.

Lindsay:
We met when I was 16 right after I had dropped out of high school. We always had an off and on friendship. We first started talking online on Myspace and then I hooked you up with Justin (my ex's brother). You would come over and the four of us would hang out and do dumb things like listen to music or make bacon together. After you and Justin broke up we hit a wall in our friendship and did not hang out for probably a year with little contact in between. Later you started coming over again to talk to Justin as friends. You got into some bad things with him so I kept my distance from you. Unfortunately you never got away from those bad things at all. We stopped talking when I was about 18 and did not start again until about a year later once I had broken up with Zack and moved into my own place in Bartow. I got to know you better during this time it was the closest we ever got. I did not like the person you became though. You were hanging out with bad people and dating drug dealers. I never stayed around you when you were doing drugs I always went home because I did not want to be around any of that. We did drink together a few times maybe 4 but that was it. We had some fun too like going to get you a tattoo, driving to Kissimmee to see Anthony, "trying" to go to the beach, and going to Halloween Horror Nights, and just hanging out and talking. I remember one time I called you to see what you were doing and you said you were going to an NA meeting. I told you I wanted to go to give you support! I was so proud of you. Turns out you were no where near getting better. I was forced to stop hanging out with you all together because I did not like your lifestyle. If you get clean and get it together maybe we could be friends again. But I do not know that I could ever trust you as you have told me you have turned your life around before just to turn around and go back to your bad ways a few days later. I am sorry I had to stop talking to you I was just looking out for myself.

Taylor:
We met when I was 19 and in college. You were my first and only college friend. Hopefully I will have more when I go back. We had a few classes together and we talked a lot of times but I don't think you liked me very much because you never wanted to be my partner. And when I tried to add you on Facebook you didn't want me to. We stopped talking when I stopped going to college. I bet you are way ahead of me now and we will never be in the same classes again. This saddens me some but not a whole lot because our friendship was very short lived. I hope you are doing well, I would have really enjoyed becoming great friends with you. Too bad that never happened.

Selena:
We met when I was 17 but didn't really become friends and start hanging out until I was 19, right after I moved into my apartment that was right down the road from your house. We started talking on Facebook and the first time we really hung out was at Halloween Horror Nights. That was fun! After that we became great friends! We did lots of fun stuff together like cook, clean (that's not fun but together we had a good time), talked, walked, played Xbox, and sometimes we drank together too. I enjoyed having a friend that was a girl that lived so close. You were one of the best friends I ever had and I really enjoyed the time that we were close. We started slowly drifting once you started hanging out with Jessica more. She basically replaced me. I am still upset over this. When I talked to you about it you said the only reason you hang out with her more is because she calls you everyday and tries to hang out all the time.You then told me to be close with you I would need to talk to you everyday because you forget. This offended me. I felt like you wanted me to put all the work into the friendship while you put close to nothing in. It seems one sided to me. I stopped talking to you to see if you would still make an effort to talk to me but you did not. At that point I knew our friendship was dead. You probably think we drifted because I had a baby and my boyfriend moved in, but that is not the case. I do think about you and I chose not to talk to you because I feel like you do not care to talk to me. If you talk to me first, call me or facebook me... I will be glad to talk to you and be your friend, but until then I am not interested. <--- UPDATE: Since I typed this post you have contacted me on Facebook, you invited me to your son's birthday party. Me and the family went for a few minutes and then left because we had other things to do, since then we have been texting and talking a lot more. I hope that our friendship gets stronger like it once was, but only time will tell.

Lexi:
We have known each other since the middle school but did not start to talk until I was about 18. We talked on facebook ALL the time! I thought we were really good friends. We talked about my crayon sales on Etsy and about how you were going to help me one day. We were into all the same things and had fun talking about them. We didn't hang out until I was 20. One day you came over to help me paint my bedroom. You were supposed to help paint a whale on the wall but that never happened. We ended up just painting it all blue. After that you wanted to move into my apartment along with Drew. I said yes and was very exited. I was so thrilled by the thought of someone living with me! And a girl that was my friend at that! I was over the moon. I thought we were going to have so much fun together all the time. But boy was I wrong. When you moved in you stayed in your room 24/7. We only ever hung out probably 5 times over the course of 8 months. On top of that you ruined my house and I developed a lot of resentment toward you for that. I am sorry that I had ill feelings toward you but I feel that the way you were treating me was unfair. I felt as though you were stealing from me when you took my food with out asking. And I felt like you did not care about me and were very inconsiderate when you made a huge mess and left it there for weeks. I refused to clean up after you and Drew because you are both grown adults and you need to clean up after yourselves. And not to mention that if I cleaned up after you the place would be a horrid mess again just a few days later. We stopped talking when you moved out. I really wish to never talk to you again that is how angry I am with the way you treated me and my house. You are supposed to come by sometime and get the few things you left there when I call you. To be honest I have been putting this off for a month now because I do not want to see you. You also owe me $700 and I do not want to get let down when you come over and say you don't have the money (because we all know you are never going to pay me back). I hope you are doing well in your new apartment and not reeking as much havoc on that one. Maybe your new roommates are pushovers and clean up after you. To be honest I just feel bad for them.

Letters to my Long Lost Friends (High School)

Letters to my long lost friends:

Camilo:
You were my first guy friend and we met when we were 15 and in the 9th grade! I believe we met in art class. We hung out in there, after school, before school, during lunch, and even on occasion outside of school. I had a lot of fun with you, we used to talk about guys together as you were gay, I always thought that was cool. You helped me through many hard things that I was struggling with in my life at that time. I really appreciated your support. We made a lot of awesome memories at my house, your house, and even Busch Gardens. We ate cotton candy... lots of it! and got our lemonade wet. We even went to the movies and saw I believe Spider-Man 2. Once 10th grade came around, you were changed though. It seemed like you had tons of new friends and just left me behind. You didn't treat me like your BFF anymore, you would only hang out with me for like 10 minutes before running off to be with someone else. I was heartbroken over this. You were really the only friend I had at the time, and I felt abandoned and alone. Even though we were not that close anymore we remained friends through out 10th grade. I eventually dropped out of school and went to be with Zack, we still were friends at that point. We even hung out a few times together, you, Zack, and I. I remember we had a big sleepover one time, it was really fun. One day Zack decided he didn't want to hang out with you any longer and I had to go along with it, so we lost contact. About 2 years later Zack and I broke up and I got back in contact with you, but you turned a cold shoulder to me, you didn't seem to understand why I put Zack before you and wanted nothing to do with me. We lived down the street from each other and you wouldn't even come and see me. Despite all the friend requests I have sent you, you still won't add me on Face Book. I guess I really upset you. I am sorry and I wish we could be friends again.

Sarah:
I met you when I was 16 and in the 10th grade! We met in the oddest of ways, I remember I was walking around at lunch time with another one of my friends, Kellum, and we were saying that we were an incomplete water molecule, that he was the H and I was the O but we needed another O to make H2O! We asked you to come be our O and you said yes! I have no clue what we were thinking lol. After that we were friends though. Kellum quickly stopped hanging out with us and it was just you and I. We were lone wolfs together, both kinda friendless at the time. You were shy like me, I think we had similar anxiety problems. We ate lunch together and talked about stuff, I always told you about the craziness in my life and I you always told me about the simplicity of your life. I always felt like a bad ass compared to you. Your life seemed so calm while mine seemed very well... messed up. I talked about Zack a lot once I met him and you always told me he was bad for me but I never cared to listen. I do thank you for trying, you were right. Eventually I left with Zack and you remained at school. I remember the whole reason I created a Face Book was so I could talk to you! That was a fail, as our conversation was quickly ended, you seemed to have a busy life and no time to talk to me. You also moved away to some far state to go to college, I think for a drama or music major or something like that. It was the college you dreamed of going to in high school, you were always really smart, it didn't surprise me when I found out you achieved your goals. We are still friends on Face Book, but I am not really sure what you are up to these days as you do not post that much. It would be cool to reconnect with you someday.

Angalie:
You were my first neighborhood friend after my family and I moved into their new house. We met when I was 14 and in the 9th grade. We did not have any classes together when we were in 9th grade but in 10th we did. We always got in groups and did projects together. I remember we used to walk around outside and sometimes hang out in your house. One time I had cake at your house on a plate that had a picture of a guy grilling a burger. I thought this was kinda odd since you guys are Hindu and vegetarians. We didn't hang out much at my house. I think this was because we did not share very many interests. I wanted to be really close friends with you but you just kept pushing me away. I kind of got the vibe that you did not like me all that much but were pretending to be my good friend. In 10th grade we started getting rides together. My dad took us to school and your friend took us home. We talked on the way but never got really close as friends. I no longer talk to you. Last time we talked you said you and your family had moved to Lakeland. I hope you are doing well. I wonder if you are married too? I don't think we will ever be close friends because of our clashing interests. I did enjoy the times that we hung out though.

Letters to my long lost friends:

Elizabeth:
You were my first friend! We met when we were just 6 years old. I have many fond memories with you like, all the fun crafts we did, our crazy sleepovers, swimming in your little pool, and even going to Disney. I remember we used to fight over the stupidest of things like who's shoes were cleaner lol. I suppose this was because we spent way too much time together, but the fights never seemed to keep us apart. We always made up and were playing outside again in a few hours. It really does suck that you moved so far away, we had such a strong friendship. We even managed to get pregnant together when we were 17! I thought this would bring us closer having a baby at the same time, but it didn't we were still very distant only talking once in a blue moon on Myspace. Your daughter is now 3 and I have only ever met her two times and your second daughter is almost one and I have yet to meet her at all! It is crazy how best friends can just simply grow apart like this. We finally started talking again when I saw on Facebook that you had started a blog. I thought that maybe we could be blogging pals! You even called me after reading my blog. We talked for like an hour than you had to go. We then did not talk for about a month not sure why that happened, I guess life just got in the way. We now talk again through text and I read your blog on a daily basis and sometimes even post comments. I see that you are going through a lot and I am sorry you have to go through those things, I wish you the best of luck. Maybe one day we will move closer together where we can re-kindle our friendship. You really were the best friend I ever had, I never did achieve a friendship with anyone else that was as strong as the friendship that we shared.

Kinsey:
I met you when I was about 8 years old! I remember standing outside and you rode your super cool bike down the road right in front of me. I wondered to myself "Who is that and why don't I know her?" the rest is history! We had a lot of fun together you, Elizabeth, and I. The three of us were never close as a group because we always seemed to get along better when it was just two people rather than three. I remember we had so much fun jumping on your trampoline, playing in your tree house, and swimming in your pool! We even had fun giving your pet turtle a bath. I always thought your house was so cool and was super jealous of all the fun stuff you had.  I don't know what happened to us, it's like one day you just vanished. You were there and we were friends and then you were not, it was very odd. I think you moved in with your dad but I never got the details straight. Later on we did attend the same high school but never met up once or even talked. I know you became a varsity cheerleader... and me well I became nothing, so I guess we grew up to have clashing lifestyles. It did not surprise me when I found out you were a cheerleader, you were always super pretty and into those kinds of things. I was scared to talk to you to be honest because I felt like you would think you were superior to me. I found you on Face Book a few years after we had graduated high school. We chatted some and said we should hang out like old times but that never happened, in fact that was the only time we chatted as well. We remain Face Book friends today but we do not talk. It's almost as if we were never friends and our memories are forgotten.

Jessica:
We met when we were in 1st grade! So around 6-7 years old. I remember you were in my class and we walked home from school together on some days. We had lots of fun playing outside in the Florida sun, riding bikes, building ramps, making slip and slides because our parents would never buy one, and playing with many different litters of kittens.We were very fond of each other but one day you just moved away as well. It wasn't long after we met maybe 6 months later? The little memories that I do have of us are very sweet, I wish we would have made more. I later found you on Face Book as well. Like Kinsey we said we should hang out like old times but never did and then didn't seem to talk anymore after that. It's strange how this happens so much, maybe people just don't want to hang out with me but they say they do? Or maybe their life is too busy. We are still friends on Face Book, I read your posts all the time but never comment on them, I am not much of a commenter though. You have a daughter now too that is a little younger than Seth, and she looks just like you when you were a little girl! It is crazy seeing pictures of her. I would like to talk to you more and be friends and maybe even hang out? Who knows where that could go.

Casey:
You were more of my sister's friend because you were older than me, but we were still friends never the less. I met you at around 8 as well I believe. Your grandmother (Granny Smith as we called her) lived down the road from me and we would hang out when you visited her house. We had fun watching movies, exploring the neighborhood, going to the park to try and fish, going to your moms house and playing in the woods, and just hanging out in general. It always seems like we were getting into trouble with you, like that one time you broke your arm at the park, and the time I got stuck in the baby stroller in the middle of the road, and the time that we you, my sister, and I all got lice together. I don't know what it was, we just seemed accident prone while together. Never the less, we did have a bunch of fun. I don't know what ever happened to you either, like much of my other friends, one day you were just gone. I have not seen you or talked to you since I was about 10 years old. Maybe I will look you up and try to get back in contact over the great Face Book, and maybe we won't be so accident prone now that we are grown lol.

Kaleigh:
We met when we were 9 years old in the 2nd grade! You were my best friend in second grade. We hung out outside of school sometimes, I know we went to a few sleep overs together and birthday parties, we even saw a parade together once. For the most part though, you were my in school friend. We hung out at lunch, and PE, and in class of course. I really enjoyed your company and being friends with you those years that we were friends. It was nice to have a BFF by my side and not to be a lone wolf. In third grade we sort of drifted but then were in the same class again in fourth grade and we were friends again. I do not remember fifth grade but I know we went to different middle schools which pretty much ultimately caused us to completely drift apart. We did attend the same high school later on, I saw you in the courtyard but was always too shy to talk to you or make conversation. It is odd of the best of friends can turn into that... too shy to talk to each other. I was just worried you had moved on and had new best friends and would not have any interest in talking to me. I saw you in Wal-Mart one time with two of your other friends, you were super loud and kind of scared me to be honest, which is why I said hi and quickly walked away. We were basically always friends on Face Book, and yet we have never really talked. We are now pregnant together again, you with a girl expected due date is I think 2 weeks after Bear. I tried to make conversation to you about your pregnancy thinking that since we now have something in common maybe we could re-start our friendship, but you always seemed to kill the conversation just a tad bit after I started it. I suppose you aren't really interested in being friends with me all that much, which really does kind of sadden me, I really wanted a close friend that was pregnant at the same time as me.
