This holiday season I will be receiving a smartphone replacement for my loyal and durable $10 Walmart go-phone. The time fast approaches for me to part with my old pal; and the screen blinks with what may be the last "96% memory used" message that I ever read.
Times like these make me terribly sentimental. As I begin to browse my message inbox and sentbox, deleting old messages, I write this post to salvage a few.
Spelling errors and ego boosts galore.
Here goes:

I was underwater. I was connected to some kind of machine by a thick cord of a nature i didn't quite understand. Perhaps it brought air for me to breathe. 'There aren't many fish here' said a voice from the insides of my metal companion. I agreed while wondering if whoever was inside could stay warm inside all that cold steel. I go back into my container while we travel. I never remember my thoughts while inside it. Maybe it draws them out the same way it steals heat from the man in the machine. As i emerge from my confined space i feel no less free. The water is awhirl with the movement of fish. They form a bubble around me just beyond my reach of my tether but at least i have my thoughts out here in here. Perhaps if i stood on the steel construct i could reach them. They do not move away from me but continue to keep a safe distance from my encased partner. I no longer wish to have them but instead find myself content to watch then swirl around me. They nearly block all the light and begin to be fish no longer. Their inky forms begin to blend and their forms are finaly lost to the movement. I am not afraid but there is still a strong send of urgency.

When i read your text right after you sent it i wasn't awake enough to know what you were talking about. I was so confused. So i went back to sleep and then dreamed about children made from broken pottery. I have a neat visual image of you in that room with the pottery now.

I am really glad you love zack as optimistically as you do. I love you both so much. I think that is why I am so hard on you, you come to mature decisions quicker. I am glad you went to elon because then you wouldn't have had all this woods and stuff.

I wrote a poem for you. It's my first time writing a poem for someone else.
Pork for Sam
When I first saw you, I was scared to even talk, afraid that I would start then balk, that day when you first sat by me, I was scared to turn my head and see, why a girl like you would bother sitting with a guy like me. Once I started talking to you, and you talked to me, our friendship started there like a fire flare. Your friendship and time we share I cherish more, than squirrel, a nut tree, and my mom and her coffee. This is how important you are to me.
Hope you like it.
Don't laugh, though I know you will. It was on my bucket list.
Thanks for providing the inspiration for my poem and for inspiring me to say how I feel about others, and be more confident in general. You can cross inspire someone off you of your (bucket) list. You taught me that life's too short and to take some risks. You also got me to make my own bucket list.
Would you mind helping with some of my bucket list? I'll help with some of yours.

I was talking to my aunt and she told me something that really struck me. I said "I just want to be one of those people who find a school they love and go there for four years." she said "Maybe it's not so much they love their school but that they love their life."
Allie

What if I did Americorps?
And like, got over myself.
And then did school when I figured my shit out.
Maybe I just need to take my life less seriously.
Griffin

Heart hot head cold. You can only build half a bridge; it takes the other person to build the other half. A month from now you are going to look back through this and you will be a stronger person because of it.
