Thank you

There are important people in your life.  Sometimes it's hard for us to realize this, but there are people who really do care.  If I could, I'd make sure that no one went through anything that would make them feel depressed or sad.  Even though I can't, what I can do is let them know that they have a friend who cares and will always be there for them.  I myself used to get sad when somethings didn't work out right. You may still feel sad at times, but you have to move on, no matter how much it hurts.  I'm the type that tries to be friendly to everyone and treat others how I want to be treated.  Not everyone will respond to you or treat you the way you treat them.  Some of them don't want to be friends.  They can talk about you behind your back or they can treat you like you don't exist no matter how many times you say hello or ask how they are doing.  The ones that matter are the ones who treat you the way that you want to be treated.  The ones that matter are the people in your life who can put a smile on your face when you're feeling blue.  The ones that matter are the poeple who will give you a helping hand to pick you up when you're down.  The ones that matter are the people who are true and can accept you for who you are. The ones that matter treat you with respect.  I used to worry about not having a girlfriend. I'm coming up my 21st birthday and I've been single since the day I was born.  I can't worry about that though.  There are important people that would help me cheer up when I felt sad that something didn't work out.  I just want to say  thank you for helping me and for caring.  You were always there for me when I was worried because something didn't work out.  I promise I'll try my best to always be there for you all.  I know I'll find my first girlfriend soon, but that's not important right now.  What's important though, is the people in my life who make me glad to be Tione Thrift.  To my family, friends in Montevallo and the great friends I have in Tuscaloosa, thank you.
