a letter to charlotte and the amazing people it containted, both past and present.
dear charlotte,
i first want to say, that i'm sorry i hated you that one time. you know, when i lived there? i see how dumb that was. for some reason, you somehow brought the most amazing people ever created and threw them all together for one glorious year. then, we all had to leave. its sad, really. together, we are a big giant group of love, sunshine, and happiness. its so true, charlotte, that you don't know what you have until its gone (sorry, i just couldn't bring myself to type with such poor grammar).
i'm so glad you have an airport, so that i could fly and visit those amazing people. you also have a nice skyline that seems to grow wider and taller each time i visit you. its funny, charlotte. i live in los angeles, where many people come to pursue their dreams. but me? i'd rather be with you, as long as you bring all the amazing people back from their corners - nashville, philadelphia, raleigh, etc. also, your leaves are quite nice this time of year.
charlotte, thank you for letting me live on your crazy streets. i miss them a lot. even the ones that don't make sense.
love,
lindsey
ok, letter done. let me just say, that i miss charlotte so much. its CRAZY to me that i have lived in CA for longer than i lived in charlotte, yet that place (or really those people) still have my heart like no one else. i have not found that here yet. the people here are different - in a good way, but just different. i have never felt so comfortable and free to be myself. gosh, i miss all those people. teddy, chris, hailey, angela, manda, ginny, tim, peter, kelly, joel, staci, audrey...i know i left people off this list, but MAN. i love these people so much. i know my place is here, but my heart is not. i forgot what it was like to be so loved. to not have to fight so hard for my friendships. to not have to constantly be working on them...and just BE. enjoy life. dance like there is no tomorrow, and not care if you look idiotic. i forgot that. i think i've spent too much time trying here.
so, maybe i'll stop. and just be myself. what a novel idea.

dear windsey,
charlotte loves you too. we were all a little confused when we lived here collectively. we really didn't know that we had a perfect microcosm of love and happiness. it is true that it follows us where we g....now those things are spread out across states, but MAN when they are together in one room! WHOA dance party of love, respect, goofiness, humility, and LAUGHTER!
we love you and can't wait for the next reunion of my favorite people on the planet (and you are fo sho one of the best)!
<3,
angela (and dev thinks you are pretty dang great too)!
i am in no way, shape, or form a part of the charlotte crew or anything that has to do with charlotte, but i so enjoyed angela's pictures of joel's wedding weekend. i'm thrilled that you guys had a blast, and i'm so glad that you found your heart again for a weekend...what a blessing. i love you so much (and all of those charlotteans that i actually know!). and I MISS YOUR FREAKING GUTS!
