You guys are my soul mates. And though we may not be together in the future, our hearts and souls are spiritually, magically forever together, eventually in spirit. Our love is true and pure and forever innocent.

Secret-- I don't really hate this town. Growing up I always despised living in such a hole of a place, shut out from the rest of the world. It was almost as if Bridgeville never really existed and we were living in this pretend dream world that never really existed outside.

But there's nothing like saying goodbye to bring you to reality...

We are so lucky to live in such a place. And it is like a fantasy because there is no other place in the world like Woodbridge. We didn't have cool hangouts, but we had so much more. Just like the child who makes a castle out of the tower of tires in the playground, we made our own adventures out of our lives. And we have become stronger, more imaginitive people because of it. Our lives were not handed to us; we had to create our adventures and here we are about to enter a world where new people and places we have never encountered may present themselves on every corner.

What we must remember is to keep that magical part of us. Please take time to escape back to a world where life wasn't so rushed, minds weren't so small, towns weren't so big, and love wasn't so... hard? A time of eternal innocence, growth and adventure; where we spent hot days by the baseball dugouts with our first love; a time of first kisses; a time when innocence and purity prospered.

Wherever the road takes (you) I hope every night when you sleep or every other night for those of you who have "party animal" written in your future, when you do finally sleep... I hope your mind escapes to this dream world and you fondly remember Woodbridge.

I ask you not to dwell in the past but to embrace it. Hold it in your hand, hug it, kiss it, breathe it into your body; let your heart fill with and let your soul fly with it and let that comfort you in your bed at night.
