AWG

You are the dumbest person I have ever met.
You decide now is a good time to wear that necklace?
Is it because you're home now?
Is it because the commitment is breathing down your neck?
You're funny.
You haven't worn that necklace in so long.
It's like you said, you're a whore.
You don't care about anyone other than yourself.
I just wish things wouldn't have changed.
I wish you were still 17.
I wish you still cared about us.
I wish all of these new people weren't in the picture.
I wish things could go back to how they used to be.
You used to make me smile so much.
You don't even know.
I'm seeing you twice this summer....
Please don't let me down.
I hope you can restore my faith in you.

What would you do if the surprise party was for you but you weren't surprised?

I don't know.




It kind of scares me that you're growing up.
It seems like yesterday I met you in that parking lot.
Unwashed and unashamed.
Yet, you've come so far since then.
Part of me wants to be selfish, and never let you grow up.
I just want you to be seventeen forever.
I know you feel so much pressure right now, and I will be the first to tell you, you will survive.
You will make it.
You will overcome what feels like you need to break away, but trust me, this is where you need to be.
The grass is not always greener.
You need to stick to your guns.
ILY.
