life reminders for the memory-impaired.

on a more positive note-

People don't know what they do. The way the can change things with one simple action- with one small movement, one word.

I lied when I told you that I'd only miss a select few people, because a while ago, when I found out I was moving, I said I felt like I had nothing to miss, but Tom, you changed that. I hope you can feel the happiness that I feel when I help someone or give something when you read this. Two nights out having a lot of fun, all thanks to you, and now I know it's more than a select few people. I know I'll miss this. These nights. Who knows what we'll do in the summer...but all this is worth so much to me. For a period of time, I had honestly forgotten how much I enjoyed spending time with you guys, but Tom, you sparked it back up again. And I remember it, and I
will miss it.
So I am sorry for everything I've said, so rashly. I'm being much too rash lately.

And the things people have said about my baking, causing me to bake more.
What they've said about my poetry, causing me to write more.
What they've said about my photography, making me more enthused.

These simple words and actions which can change everything.
Just as I said before, about how things can change in an instant-

For both good and bad, apparently.....

Anh-Vy, we love you. For better or worse.

And Tom is a really good guy, he has faults, but he's doing a lot for us, and I think we all appreciate it greatly, but we need to show it more >:]

We're always going to encourage you :]

you tell a great story with your words it's like your telling your audience whats happening but kinda not at the same time so they have to think and i think that is the most beautiful poetry i hope to master that skill one day
