To all of 213;
I'll admit I never really loved 213 as much as I should, as much as all you do.
However, I'll also admit that on C&D night, I cried veryveryvery hard after debrief. I guess that just goes to show how much I'll miss all of you - as a class.
Many of you are probably planning to continue meeting up for outings, gatherings, chalets, whatever-the-hell-GEPers-do as the eighteen of us, and besides, "We'll still see each other everyday!" Promises only go so far, but I know you guys will manage to do it (:
In spite of this, it takes very, very much to maintain a strong bond between an entire class, and there's something special and crucial in seeing each other every single day through all the disgusting lessons and gripe-worthy crap we go through together.
To be frank, or maybe I'm just putting a damper on everyone's spirits, but it really ended that night we had our performance. All I believed in was, "It's ending tonight', possibly echoing what resides in many of our hearts. Except we don't want to believe it - because we want to make it otherwise.
What a lasting friendship needs isn't knowing the good points of everyone, but realising we all fall short of 'perfect' and loving everyone anyway. In the words of HSM, "We're all in this together"!
I know many times, people try to stick together and fail miserably. It's happened to all of us. No matter how you try, it's utterly different each time. I'm not even talking about your ditzy nursery school friend who looks like a supermodel now, or your friend from (boot) camp who've you've got absolutely no recollection of when she visits in the holiday. It takes a lot of time, trust, love and tolerance just for two people to stay close friends, and depending, those who succeed usually get married x)
But my point is - I believe that 213 consists of those people (:
Now that I've finally realised how much I'm gonna miss all of you together, as a class - allow me to offer my sincerest well wishes.
Even if I don't plan to keep this strong bond we have, even if I'm just an apathetic little 1/18 of this lovely class, even if everything really does fall apart here, at least we had a good two years together and I've said what I wish to.
