Gratefulness

There is something no one can take away from me. What I've done and known this summer; I will forever remember it as one of the best things God gave me. I can say nothing at all but Thank You. I don't know how it happened, and it came out of nowhere. All I know is that I am happy, and I feel like this is the beginning of something so much better. I wake up looking forward to what the days hold, knowing that I have friends and I have love in my life. I am the most blessed person on Earth.
You make me want to become so much better, do you know that? Only one other person has made me feel that way, and it's not Mercutio, it's Jenna. She made, and makes, me want to be better so that I can be a good friend. You also make me want to be a better friend. You make me want to start praying to God again, for strength and knowledge of how to love you better. You make me want to treat you well and share in your happiness in a selfless way and listen to anything you need to say, and be selfless overall. It's amazing... I don't even know why. I just want to be a good person for you. You make the days a little bit brighter! I look forward to seeing you, but I will always be okay as long as I know you are okay and that a "one day" is in the future. I can wait, because I am learning to trust in this. It is the most exciting thing I've ever experienced. It is also the most difficult. I mess up a lot more than I'd like to, but I know you wouldn't want me to be hard on myself, so I try not to be. I've begun to appreciate myself more as a person, too. I find that I am a good person, but I of course have flaws. You do, too. But I am more than willing to accept them and forgive them. I love finding flaws in you actually, because they make me realise that you are real, and this is real. If you were "perfect", you'd be boring. I love you for everything you are. Every last thing, the things I know and the things I still will find out, all of it: I want to know it. I am so excited! I feel like I'm at the starting line of the best race of my life, ready to run and be happy and be free. I remember once, the worst thing I ever thought, was that I wished I didn't love you. But I am glad that I do. I can't believe this is happening. I am so happy I could cry. GAH!
