k i'm legit tearing up at this

Well regarding the gay part, it's good to see you sharing it instead of trying to hide it any longer. I'm honestly not too surprised about this. I'll keep you in prayer, brother.

and just wanna say a few things. I love you a lot, man. I was such an immature jerk to you in my first days here, yet you still forgave me and forgot about all the crap I caused that probably made up a good amount of the "mostly bad times", and became an amazing friend to the lonely, depressed guy who really needed one. I've lost basically all of my first wave of close friends around here, and for a good chunk of time you've been the only guy I've felt comfortable enough to share really personal stuff with, and you've helped me a lot. We had a lot of fun together and I could relate to you so much. I wish your retirement thing could be a little less vague, it still sounds like you'll be coming back (which I indeed hope for), but if you really do need to leave for good and move on with life, please text me sometimes. I've lost frequent contact with enough close friends already and don't want to lose you either. anyway, i love you bro, cya 'round.
