On the topic of growing up and farewells, not everything has to be sappy and sad. I have to say that the people I’ve met and made friendships with shaped me in ways I couldn’t possibly understand to a full extent.

I am truly grateful for every single person who has come into my life, whether they have stayed for a short time or a long time. I am thankful for the opportunity to have crossed paths with them, as each and every one of them has taught me something valuable.

Some of these people have made a significant impact on my life, and I hold them dear to my heart. These are the people that I cherish and hold dear, as they have shaped me into the person I am today. Whether it was through their words of wisdom, their actions, their presence, or even their absence, these people have played a crucial role in my journey of life.

I am grateful for each and every one of them, and I will always remember them fondly.

Change is an inevitable part of life, and this is especially true when it comes to the people we encounter along the way. Some people come into our lives and stay for a long time, while others may only be there for a brief moment. And that’s okay. It’s all part of the journey.

The lessons that these people have taught me have helped shape my character and have made me a better version of myself. They’ve taught me valuable lessons that I will carry with me always, and for that, I am truly grateful. Even though some people may come and go, the impact they have had on my life will always remain.

I am thankful for the people who have come into my life, and I will always be grateful for the lessons they have taught me.

The memories I have with the people who have come and gone in my life are some of the most precious things I possess. From the good times and shared laughter to the late-night talks and experiences we shared together, these are the things that are truly worth remembering.

I am grateful for the presence of each and every one of these people, and I thank them for being a part of my life.

Even though they may not always be physically present, their impact on me will always remain. I am thankful for the memories we have created together, and I will always look back on them fondly. After all of that, and I know I’ve said this many times before but, once again, thank you for your presence in my life, and for the lessons you have taught me.

Although I may not see some of those people again, I think I’ll manage somehow, I always do, eventually. I’ll meet new people again, I’ll learn new lessons again, I’ll gain new experiences again, I’ll have heartbreaks again (not all positive things, I know), and well, I’ll create new memories again.

That doesn’t mean I’ll forget the old ones. I’ll make room to store the new memories, while keeping the old ones safe and sound. Kinda like a computer hard drive I think? yeah, maybe.

Anyways I’m starting to ramble, the point is I will always remember you.

(And yes, especially you.)
