To my very close friend,

I know you have heard this before, but I am very sorry for the things I did. I just wanted to let you know that because you mean alot to me. As a friend. I have know you for almost a year now. And  I have never mention how being my friend means alot to me. All the times I have been mean to you. The times I had made you cry. And the times I had made you mad. I just wanted to let you know that I'm sorry for that. Sorry may be the wrong word. But I really am. And this is coming from my heart. As your closest friend, I hope you can forgive me and all my stupid actions. I hope you can forgive me from head to toe.

I have learned from you the value of friendship. And coming from public school, I didn't know the value and the time. The time that you have given me I have never thank you. So I am thanking you now. It maybe to late for all of this, but I really thank you for all the people that you have ingored just to talk to me. And all the friends you have lost just because of me. I thank you. But I don't understand why would a person like you want to waste valueable time on me. I just don't get it.

You may not think that I don't trust you but I really do. The times that you made mad, I just wanted to forget about it and tell you that it was alright. But I didn't do that because back then I thought you were going to make fun of me. But now I see that you're not that type of person. And you will never be that type of person.

So I thank you for all the thing that you did for me.

You know what, I can't go anywhere this whole summer. Well, I can it just that I don't wanna go alone. You know what I'm saying. And you know I only have one very close friend. And on top of that she can't go anywhere. Everytime I ask if she could go somewhere she can't. Her mom always say no. Maybe should I just give up or keep asking? You tell me.

When it come to get respect. I sometimes don't get it. People take me as a joke. Do I look like a joke to you? You couldn't just come up to my face and started talking all this smack. I maybe skinny but I will get right back in your face and cuss you out.

Don't do that to a person. People are walking around acting like they stuff and all. But inside I no there not. You got all these gangs and junk. But what is the need for them. If you don't do anything to a person, people will get at you lke it is nothing. And from my experiences, people have done it. But do you know what I do to all of those haters? I shake em' off.

Like I said people think I look weak, but you don't never ever get in my face talking all of this smack. Cause I will knock the crap out of you. That is how I get my respect.

You feel me?

Not to be mean or anything, that is just the way I grew up. That's what my dad taught me as a little child.

This maybe stupid to you but i live through stupid stuff. The things live through is such some big time drama. Well not big time. You might know what I'm saying after you read this. You know how I said that I got to dumb brothers. Well today when we were at the place called Dairy Queen, I had asked my dad if I could go to the movies by myself sence nobody else could go with me. And all of the sudden my mom said I had to take my brothers! When I had just asked my dad can I go by myself. Isn't that some bull. So I had decided not to go. Then my mom started to trip because I wasn't spending enough time with them. Like I was living by myself. That's what she had said. Then she was talking about me watching Star Wars with them. To tell you the truth I don't like to watch Star Wars or some junk like that. I just can't get into it. It is so stupid. Really I just wanna be left alone. But they don't seem to understand that. I need my space. Don't get me wrong I love my famliy, it is just I get tried of them buggin me. What should I do?

Why are you playing with my emotions? I gave you my heart and almost the world. You mean the world to me. And you went and treated my heart like it meant nothing. Why are you playing with my emotions? The person that I trusted the most. the person that I have shared my deepest thoughts to. The person that I treated like my own family. Why are you playing with my emotions? You crushed my heart and all the feelings I had for you. Now they are all gone. I loved you but your heart had turned the other direction. Why? Why? Why are you playing with my emotions?

Written with a pen, sealed with a kiss. If you love me answer this, do you love me or do you not. You told me once but I forgot. Tell me now, and tell me true, so you can say you love me too. Out of all the people I ever met, your the one I won't forget. If I die before you do, I'll sit in heaven and wait for you. I'll tell you now and I'll tell you true, now that you know I love you too. Written with a pen, sealed with a kiss.

You might think this is sad but I only have one friend. Well a close friend. Being my age, you would probably have alot of friends. But not me. I have one very strange, but very nice and caring friend. And her name is Jalisa. Jalisa, is not retarted but she has no common sense. She is a very sweet person inside and on the out. Really you couldn't say anything bad about her because she is a nice person like that. I just wanted to dedicate this entry to my very close and best friend. Because without her I would never know what a true friend is all about. And that true friend is you - Jalisa.

Okay so you may have heard of me, Shari. You might have heard about me from my best friend Jalisa or (Daphnepepper). But if you didn't I'm going to tell a little about myself.

I'm fourteen years old living in boring little old Macon. I am 25% Black and 75% Fillipino. Just to make it sort I'm just half and half. I have to little skanky brothers. One is 11 and the other is 9. I have two dogs Blonco and Fudge. No cats.  

I'm going to the ninth grade. I been to a Catholic school, but don't get me wrong I been to public school too. I been at the Catholic school for about one year. And nothing was really different. Expect for the teachers and everything but it all good.

I like Rap, Hip hop, and R&B. And stuff like that. But if you see me or something you wouldn't think i would listen to that.

One thing I hate what people do is that they would come up to me and ask me are u Mexican, Idian, or Puertican. I neither one. That gets on my nevers alot. But the bad thing about it is that i got a daddy that looks like and Idian. He's not really Idian, he is really half Black and half Fillipino. That's why he looks like one.

But anyway, I got a best friend her name is Jalisa (none of your bussiness). She is a real nice person. But when you her or something, she looks like she stuck up. Don't get me wrong again, that is my friend, and i wouldn't even dare to say something bad about her. She is real smart, but she doesn't have any common sense. But she is a fun person to be around with.

You may look at me and say that I look skinny and everything but I can eat. I like rice and soul food. Like greens, black eye peas, and chitlings. And stuff like that. But if you try to start something with me. Like get all in my face, you'll get cuss out in a heart beat. But if you don't mess with me I will treat as nice as I can be.
