A guy and a girl should become close before asking each other out.
The guy has to make the first move.
I’m not a narcissist, and I don’t want to put anyone on a pedestal.
We are not exactly opposites, but she does attract.
We tend to think in similar ways, and get along great.
She’s popular, and has looks that could make a freezing cold pool turn in to a bubbling hot tub.
As she is beautiful, I focus on more than just her looks. There’s more to a woman than her beauty.
She has a great body; she’s clean, but unorganized, and late just like me.
So far nothing major has happened to put a memorable hole in my life as with past relationships.
Happy that she is leaving us, and moving on in her life, for six months at least.
I’ll be kinda sad when she’s not around because she tends to attend everything, more than I do.
She is a core member of Thrive and is a long time attendee, since Montco at least.
She was in our study group first day of Montco thrive one of the “hot chicks” Lauren & Erin were there.
Over our friendship, she is one of the few girls from the past who still talks to me.
She seems to understand my feelings and concerns. She listens when I talk to her, is very considerate, and gives advice.
She is an overall joy to have around.
We all need to move on some time because we aren’t all going to be around each other forever.
More than just friends I don’t want to be sexually active with her, just want a soul mate.
She’s a true, genuine friend, very nice about things. Someone to talk to. (That is nice)
Proverbs 6:25 (Do not lust in your heart after her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyes.)
I should probably think before I speak because I’m a big coward and a pessimist when it comes to these things. I am afraid that projectile vomit would come from my mouth so I keep it shut most of the time.
Every time I want to talk to her, get the chance I feel like there’s a large wall blocking my way, hindering.
1 peter 4:8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. (Thanks Mus!)

Dear J9 I guess this is where our journey of our lives together ends, at least for 6 months. Sitting out and worshipping on the lawn was a wonderful, spiritual experience, as was the prayers that took place in the prayer room that were funny, but serious at the same time. I’m praying for you as well. For safety, financial funds, and to progress towards your goal, and his plans that he has for you. Going to a beach for three months and doing mission work sounds great; I know it’s going to be a good, fun, happy time for you over there. Kansas and I conversed a little over the past few months while she was in Kona, and the photos that she took are gorgeous, and breathtaking. You are going on a tropical oasis with new friends and a few old ones from thrive so you should have no problems fitting in since you are very outgoing. Your kindness, knowledge, and wisdom are keys to your success, as well as your personality which is always positive, and easy going. Your looks will probably be a factor for your success, there hasn’t been a single day when I looked at you that I didn’t find you appealing / attractive. These are strong feelings and beliefs that I have about you. You are a great person, and a great friend! It’s been a good few years since we’ve known each other, with great times in between. We’ve all grown so much since then; I miss those good old days when we all had an active friendship where we did things during the day, in and out of school during the week. I also miss those days because they were all drama free, and we all got along very well. Today, we don’t even see each other outside of Montco / Thrive / CG very often so our friendship is very limited. I still remember the first days that the original core group of Montco Thrive met, and none of us really knew each other very well.
I remember the studies we did, the times we had in the office afterwards, the countless times we hung out in the back till it was time for Thrive, and being able to have a place to ourselves secluded from everyone else on the campus. The entire area where the office / meridian club was like a safe haven from the other parts of the campus. It was a very nice, peaceful place with decorations on the doors, and around the circumference of the room. Since that time, the entire area, including the game room, ping pong table, back offices, old radio station and cafeteria have been moved around and renovated, making them nonexistent and just a memory of the past of what was once Montco, the start of thrive for us. Since all those circumstances happened you seemed to be the popular one, being the center of attention everywhere you went. You attended everything, and texted people nonstop which you still kinda do, Josiah and a few others seemed to be calling you out on it. I’m taking in the last few days I have here with everyone before they leave, and have been reminiscing often, and it’s been keeping me awake to have the thought that one day, the people who I was close friends with will be gone, and missing from the group, outside of the communication zone, in a secluded Island or on a different continent only reachable by the internet, which I currently cannot to because I’m still blocked from your profile on both my accounts. I can tell that I am because in my news feed other people put your name in it as in “thanks J9” or “I’ll give you the details J9” and other expressions making it clear when I can’t see the entire conversation becoming lost in the comments, and not being able to follow. As of now both you and Josiah still have me blocked from way back when during the Jenny days, which makes me sad and unable to relate to the things that you are currently, are doing in your online life. Not to creep on you or God forbid “stalk” you over the wonders of facebook. It’s going to be difficult going to Thrive only to eventually notice you missing, and the reasons why, and then remembering where you went. It’s going to be a very unique time at thrive because other people are leaving as well, for longer times such as Beth, who is leaving for a year, and may never come back, and Brent, who is gone for about a year, but I am able to communicate with him so that’s okay. We’ve been keeping in touch, updating ourselves with what’s going on around the world / thrive. I know it’s probably going to be difficult for you at least for the first week till you get settled in. Once you leave for the Airport, all the material things that you owned and people you knew would become somewhat distance and complicate communication between you and them. Your house will be empty with all 3 sisters away, so it’s going to place emptiness at your residence. No more Nannying, taking care of kids, driving around, living with your parents, your dog, and the amenities you have in your home, and all the things that you are used to. The things I’m going to miss most about you are your wonderful input, kindness, and wisdom, and very Christian personality that not many people have, as well as your power of persuasion to get nearly anyone to do whatever you want as in the fireworks / David Galloway. As a close to this letter I’d like to place the bible verse I got from Mus’s tattoo which was 1 Peter 4:8 (Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.) That love from me to you is like a brother’s love to a sister’s love, in Christ of course. For a while now I’ve been contemplating considering you my long, lost sister, and to go all out, I’d consider you a twin because we’ve got quite a few similarities, and the same mindset for doing certain things, I’ve felt strongly about that but I haven’t brought it up to you because of my lack of confidence, and risk of losing another friend due to my creepy love stories, and overexposing myself, making people uncomfortable, looking like a creep, and being a turn off to many females that I’ve been in to for a while. Anyways, that is all. If you have anything to say to me before we all depart, fly out, and go our separate ways, feel free because my ears and mind are more than open.

And now a few lyrics from Vitamin C's Graduation song
And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of the night in June
I Didn't know much of love, but it came too soon
And There was me and you,
We would get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels
As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change, from whatever
We will still be, friends forever
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
We will still be friends
Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there? Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town.
