My good friend is leaving DA for now. Some of you know Xenacra (most I think) and you know that I love my friend very much (Not in the Greek way). I will miss Paul very much, although we were never "Busom Buddies" we were close in a quieter way. We were the smartest kids in the classes, the most mature, and the most hated (fer me anyways...). We forged a link born of common goals and expectations. There was always a quiet understanding between us... I will always be there for my friends, and Paul is no exception. I will always be there ready to fling myself into whatever trouble that should befall them, because what is their sorrow, is mine as well, and what is their joy I will also revel in. Paul was a balance for me. I have often been credited with having the emotional depth of a teaspoon. I tend to be agressive and assertive. I don't hesitate to fight, and I am only soft around the middle Paul provided me a much needed balance in High School. If not for him and my other friends, I would have slipped over the edge, and I don't know where I would have landed. Either my bitterness would have overwhelmed me to the point where I lashed out at everyone around me and hurt others indiscriminantely, or I would have sunk into a despair so profound that I could never have returned.

Falling's easy. Climbing's hard.

Paul was always there to encourage me to climb, even when I didn't want to.
