Remember when we were "froot loop" and "tutti frutti" and the like?

Yeah well, I like what u have there already. Maybe that kind of poem doesn't need closure, because it seems like you don't have closure to speak of.

You could be becoming your mother, as so many people speak about, which technically is maturing, as your mom is a grown lady. Avoiding arguments can't last forever though. Small arguments yes, but if something you need to discuss yet you know you will disagree on comes up- it's probably worth discussing, for the health of the relationship.

If fighting with Mike isn't what makes you want to buy a plane ticket home, I'm guessing a part of you misses it, because you didn't address that specifically. You know like I said earlier- I wanted to get away for awhile, and the time is coming where I am starting to want to come back. Not until afer I graduate of course, but you get the point. Were you wanting to get away forever and start a new life in Texas?

I hope wherever you end up you feel happy about it. I think maybe the more you mature you might find that you get bored with places less. People gotta slow down and end up somewhere someday. Maybe you're not ready for that yet, but you could be feeling it- I donno I only speculate and can be more than wrong on occasion.

There are very few boys out there that want not much more than what you just said, I too have found out. A special certain few tend to be like that at first though, or I hold out hope that I find one. I know you said Mike was really special and that's why you decided not to leave Texas- are you still feeling that way? See anything for the future?
