James Westy, has been a friend of mine since middle school as well, contributing to our tight and wonderful and bright and unique group of friends who seem to all be stemmed from the middle school days. I think I became friends with Westbrook in the 7th grade, and our friendship has never diminished. I think what really brought us the closest, was 10th grade English class with Jaedyn. The three of us sat in a row, and basically their actions in that class is the only content I remember. Those dreadfully long weeks of our Sophomore fall semester was brought to life by those two. Westbrook not only brings himself to the table of life-changing connections, however he's broughten someone into my life who is absolutely irreplaceable--his girlfriend Natalie. These two are an absolute power couple, radiating with love and happiness when they are together. (Could not be more happy for you Westbrook, you truly truly deserve this one). These two are not only important to me because of all the times we see each other and do stupid college shit, but these two inspire me to proceed in changing the world and making it a better place. They are intelligent, educated, and persistent. Most importantly, I love these two for a moment that I can recently recall. It was a drunken night and Westbrook and Natalie talked to me about anxiety and what its like to live with such a mental breakdown. Not only did these two hug my anxiety away, but they hugged me until they knew I was alright. Westbrook and I have drunkenly cried tears together many of times, but this time, was something really really powerful. I never felt so loved and cared for a true friend, ones that I know will be with me into the infinite bounds of lives out there. Thank you guys, for absolutely everything! You are all the daisies growing through concrete.
