I have come to realize the different types of people there are in the world.

There are the friends you feel like you have known all your lives, even though you just met them. They are the ones who understand you right away and are willing to hear you out no matter what. They like you for you and are fine with your style.

Then there are the friends you've had for a long time and can't do without. The ones you are comfortable with. You fight about nothing sometimes even though it doesn't matter--you are going to end up acting like it never happened anyways. They call you in the middle of the night just cause they are bored and want to wake you up and say *hey*.

The friends that will be at your wedding no matter how long you go without talking.

Then there is that one best friend that will never leave your side. They will hear everything you have to say and give their honest opinion. They can make you cry with one heart-to-heart. The best friend that your family just knows will be coming to the family events and everything else exclusive. The best friend you say *I love you* to and don't think it's weird at all.

Then there is the person you've been looking for all your life. The one person you describe to your friends as *the perfect guy/girl*. That person that when you meet them, you just know it's for real and nothing less. And whenever you're together, neither of you want to leave. Everything about each other makes you smile like you've never smiled before. It is too good for words. It's the real real thing and you know it. You can't wait to meet their family and have them meet yours. They are your everything.

And then there is your family. The people who will never turn their backs on you. They will always be there for you supporting you and shutting you down when you need it. They tell the truth but maybe stretch it just enough to make you happy. You know they will always love you for you no matter how many different *you's* there are.

Out of all the people I have met thus far in my lifetime, these are the types of people I keep around. I have them all. My life is better off because of them. So thank you to all of you that have changed my life for the better. I appreciate everything you do and can't wait for the travels ahead.

I love you all!!!
