Dear KB,
Sitting here reflecting on my day, year, thinking about you. It has been a whole year since I've got to laugh with you, cry with you, heck even be annoyed with you. Miss you so much!
So much has changed within this year and I just want you to know all that you've missed. At the same time I also know you've been with me along the way though too. I studied abroad, saw the sites in Spain and Portugal, started my third year at Cal Poly, got a few new jobs, and even moved into my own house now! Wish I could share all my stories with you about leading the freshmen around at my job this summer. You would just love it! I wish you were here to crack up about all the times I thought I met "the one" in Spain or even her in SLO. But I just cannot bring myself to dwell, even on a sad day like today.
You were and are my friend for a reason, you brought out the positive parts of this world. I'm sure you would tell me "you got this" if you heard me being such a complainer. So today unlike most I have decided that I was going to embrace your spirit. I have "selfied" uncontrollably, laughed obnoxiously, wore bright pink (somewhat uncomfortably), and even found myself dancing goofily.
Thank you friend for teaching me over and over again what it means to have a crazy beautiful life.
Until we meet again,
Lauren
P.S. Listening to our favorite song over and over today so though it was appropriate to quote... "I just hope some people see there's nothing that I'm trying to be..." -Ke$ha
