so i came across a girl on facebook today who was one of the most important voices in my teenage life! i was new to the school and she was sweet as pie nice. you know those people that are without question too fucking nice and you know what people ( maybe even you and in this case yep, even me) will certainly do too much, take them for granted ( which i did), or simply mistreat them? well she was one of those. her name was mari jo and she was supposed to be a star! she was super talented and as cute as she could be. we were in drama together and both played on the golf team ( yep i played golf and was the worst player on the team lol). mari jo and i had a plan to graduate from high school and move to new york and take broadway by storm! oh the musings of little girls! we had no idea that teenage life would deal us such shitty hands but it did. our parents, our social lives, everything was all over the place. she was sad. i was mean. then i was sad and she was mean. this is how we dealt with teenage angst. we stayed friends though. after i graduated high school, my mom packed us up and we moved to a different city. i'm talking about the NEXT DAY! mari jo and i lost tough but when i got to new york after college i found myself looking for her. i thought that for sure she would be here and that i would see her in playhouse somewhere. once i thought for sure that it was her that i had seen in a commercial..maybe it was. what i do know ( because facebook just told me) is that she has two kids, is living in the city we grew up in, and is as pretty as she ever was. i hope she's happy. i can't but wonder what life would have been like had we come up here together...
