a friendship can make a life-long impression

Hey everyone, this is my best friend, Justin! This is us from 7/8 years ago. He was my date for my homecoming dance.

I didn't think I'd say this but I'm actually going to my 5 year class reunion. I was bullied most of my life in school, but some of my classmates seem happy that I'm going. They're even letting me have my own vegan food there so I feel like I belong.

I have numerous regrets throughout high school. I missed my senior outing, all night party, missed out on volleyball, band and chorus because I was too afraid of nobody liking me, since a lot of people bullied me, because I was afraid of people. It's an endless cycle.

However, because of Justin, I was able to go to my homecoming dances, and prom. I especially did not want to miss out on my last chance to enjoy high school. I'm thankful to this day that I actually had a "date." He really makes me feel normal, and happy. I'm so grateful for Justin to this day. I wouldn't be who I am, and I'd have less memories that remind me that life is worth living.

I really wished I could have been the drummer for band, but these days I live life to the fullest and say, screw what everyone thinks of me. I have Justin and a few other great people and I'm here to have a great time before I'm gone.
