Landslide.

Life… is complicated. Life is cruel. Life is wonderful. Life is a journey. Life has the capability to tear relationships apart. As harsh as it sounds, we all know it’s true. Honestly speaking, I was positive you and I would never keep in touch after high school. And the reason to that? Well, we were different in so many levels. However, in the end, you were the one who stuck by my side throughout the year. You have taught me so many things, you’ve made me cry, you’ve made me laugh uncontrollably, and most importantly, you have taught me that our differences did not matter. What mattered was how much we valued our friendship, each other as well as the endless memories we have created. I am now leaving in a couple of days and it’s slowly beginning to hit me. You and I are going to be thousands of miles apart. Now, distance shouldn’t be a problem if we’re determined to keep our friendship alive. But, as you’ve mentioned, we cannot control life. Life may come between us. You know, every single time you brought up this topic beforehand, something inside me would snap. It bothered me. Well, now that you have explained yourself… I can clearly see where you were coming from. You are currently out of town for the week and I am aware of the fact that those who go on vacation will eventually return home. However, for some odd reason… a part of me feels empty… almost as if we’re hundreds and thousands and millions of miles away from each other. But, you and I both know that in a few weeks, we’ll literally be even further apart. A distance of nearly 3,000 miles will stand between us and our friendship. On top of that, I’ll be busy with my schedule, you’ll be busy with yours. Though I’ll be occupied with adjusting to my new life, I would like for you to remember this: you will always be a part of me no matter where life takes us. Thank you for being a part of my life for I am extremely grateful. I hope this opportunity will only help us grow stronger and closer together rather than tearing us apart. I am ready for the challenges that await, but I am also prepared to prove them wrong. I love you… from the bottom of my heart.
