If there is one thing I have learned in my recent life it is the importance of loving the people who surround you, and I want you all to know that you are my friends and you deserve the full spectrum of my affections, beyond end-of-high school sentimentality, beyond late-night confessionals, with the sacred part of my being I love and I wish there was a less awkward word but there is not and I love everyone and I will gladly bear the embarassment of saying so because right now I feel this is the most important thing I have said in years.

Sorry for all the heavy-handed ardor recently, my life has developed this odd habit of disintegrating, perhaps for the better.
