Ok, this might sound completely silly, but one thing I am totally happy about is being able to tell my friends I love them. I love my friends. I have some great ones. Some great ones that are, if you ask me, way too far away. But I remember the days in middle school where the farthest you'd get to expressing affection was to buy one of those friends forver necklaces. Telling your friends you loved them would definitely get you labeled as gay. Not that being gay is a terrible thing, but not what I was going for when telling my friends I love and appreciate them. See what I'm saying?? Even in high school we were able to begin to tell our friends how much they mean to us, but still not quite as openly as we are now. So to all my friends I just want to say I LOVE YOU!! because I can and I do!!
