Every night before I let my eyes slip into rest for a while, I do a roll call of the people i care about in my head. "Julia?" Here. My best friend is doing well, she's found love and has found enough courage in her heart to do what a lot of us could not; she's leaving behind the things in life that challenge her. She's saying, I'm bigger than you and I will find happiness.
"Nicole?" Here. Even the sunshine of just her voice, from hundreds of miles away, can brighten up my darkest of days. She encourages, punishes and cares for me more than anyone i think I've ever met. Her passion for making people happy will change the world one day.
"Brandon?" Here. Troubles and adversity follow this poor kid everywhere, yet he's never given up. He never lets it effect the way he cares about his friends. God, how i love this kid. I will rest peacefully tonight knowing that he is always there for me.
"Trevor?" Here. He's the reason I'm probably awake at this ungodly hour, and also the reason for why I'm counting my blessings instead of sheep. He's smart, brave and one of the most passionate people I've ever met.
The list goes on: family, new friends and old. These memories supply the lullaby for my drifting mind.
But, i want you to know that when my subconscious calls out your name, i will proudly raise my hand and declare you absent. Because you don't belong here anymore.
