That Girl on the First Day of Ballroom

Dear Sara M.(Marie?) Grosland,

Since your the only one who actually reads my blog I thought id make you a special post. Also to encourage you to write me a post cause you've only mentioned my name in your blog, but this will be a whole post. A whole one like all of it. The entire part will be about you.

Back to all seriousness..

Dear Sara,

Since the day I met you you've been a friend to me. I didn't even know you but you treated me so nice I felt like I belonged for once. During the first 2 years of junior high I was pushed around emotionally and physically. I hated my life. I had no real friends. The friends i did have were merely aquantences that were embarassed to walk me to class or sit by me at lunch. I had suicidal thoughts. I was seeing a therapist who treated me like a child. Which caused more damage to me. Basically my life sucked because I felt not accepted to society. I felt like an outcast, I didn't belong. I didn't know who I was anymore and I just felt dead. Like no one knew who I was and neither did I. I then overcame lots of my issues and became more acceptable socially. I made friends and became really close. I gained a personality. Starting high school scared me to death. I had this image in my mind of being an outcast again. Then I met you. Your positive attitude helped me realize how much life means. Even if life sucks, you still value the thought of life. You talked to me like we were friends and we didn't even know each other. After a while more people started following your example and I met more people. This is about the time a broke out of Logan and became Duffy. I started making friends. Having conversations. Laughing. Having activities. Being busy. Sara you helped give me confidence. I may not be perfect now but I now have many friends. Because of your example I've grown as a person and now want to be more like that girl I met on the first day of Ballroom. Now I can spot the kids who are like what I used to be throughout 7th and 8th grade. Now I feel motivated like I have something to work for. Thanks Sara for helping make me feel much more comfortable in ballroom and school (: your the best! Stay strong, god loves you and he knows your struggles. I love what you stand for without question. Stay beautiful.
