A Huge Thank You to Everyone♥

Before I go to bed tonight, I would just like to write about the most recent thing that happened in my life. A couple weeks ago, my parents told my brother and I that they were getting a divorce. Sure, I was expecting it, but it hit me like a brick wall. Yes, I know it happens to many people, but I never wanted it to happen to me. My whole life is changing right before my eyes and there isn't a single thing I can do about it. My house is probably going to get sold and I'm going to end up switching between two apartments, which can lead to many other problems that I never thought I'd face. Pretty much as soon as my life started to build back up, a huge weight dropped on my shoulders and brought me right back down. Things were getting worse, but I was trying to stay strong for my brother and continue to progress with my positivity. We all know that I am a huge HootOwl and I have many friends in this fandom who mean the world to me. There are quite a few of them who get me through so much and I do not know what I would do without them. Recently, I became friends with a lovely girl named Madeline and a wonderful boy named Dylan (whom I've known for a while now). They are both some of the most amazing people I have ever met in my life, really. Anyone who follows me on Twitter, knows everything that has been going on for the most part. These two friends have been there for me throughout my sad times and have always cheered me up; along with some other friends like Christiane, Nele (two of my best friends in the entire world), Kelsey, and many more sweet people. They have all cheered me up at some point and it means so much to me. Well, Dylan texted me one day, mentioning something about a surprise. I wasn't sure what he was talking about and he wouldn't give me a single hint, so I just waited to see what would happen. Last night I was sitting with my friend in the car when I got a call from him. "Have you checked Twitter recently?" he asked me. I didn't have Internet at the moment, so my friend let me use her phone to check it. When I looked, I couldn't believe my eyes. Jasper (the guitarist from the Owl City tour band) tweeted me out of nowhere saying that he was praying for me and to remind me that God was with me. "Hi Kayla- Just wanted to see how you were doing and let you know that I just said a prayer for you. Know that God is with you in whatever you're going through right now." Those are the exact words that he said to me. I was just taken away by it all. Apparently Dylan and Madeline (and I was told that a couple other HootOwls helped as well) somehow contacted him and I guess told him that things haven't been well for me. I'm literally tearing up right now just thinking about it. He was praying for me. I still can't believe it. It just takes my breath away to think that I have such amazing friends that would do something like that for me. It hit me then that I really do have people who care about me. Just to know that people would go out of their way to contact someone extremely important and have him personally talk to me... I honestly don't even know what to say. I'm speechless. Anyways, the whole point of this story is that no matter what is going on in anyone's life, someone is always there to help. Whether they live nearby or not, they care about you. In a way, I seriously think Twitter has been a serious life saver. Without it, I wouldn't have met hardly any of my wonderful friends. You always hear how people say "Don't talk to strangers over the Internet. They can't be trusted." Well, I would like to speak to those people and tell them that it's not always true. Somehow, by being myself, I met some people over the Internet who I wouldn't want to ever lose. Even though I haven't personally met any of my HootOwl friends I met online, I trust them. They are amazing people and without them, who knows where I'd be. So, I know I've said this a million times, but Dylan and Madeline (and anyone else who helped), if you're reading this, THANK YOU. I can't explain how happy it made me and my family. They were so happy to hear all about it. And to think that someone would do that out of kindness and not ask for anything in return. People like them are true friends. I apologize for all this thanking and ranting because it proabably gets really old, but you mean everything to me and I hope I can be here for you as much as you have been for me. And while I'm at it, thank you Christiane for being my best friend, fangirling with me, and always cheering me up and letting me come to you to vent. You always know the right things to say.<3 Thank you Nele for your kind words, the fangirling moments, and the times where we vented about everything and decided we were pretty much sisters. Thank you Matty for being so sweet to me all the time, always being there for me, and making me laugh and blush. Thank you Ethan for being one of the most amazing people I've ever met in my life and even though things didn't work out too well for us, I hope we will always stay friends because you mean a lot to me. Thank you Kathy for always making me laugh, being an amazing friend, and spending a lot of time cheering me up and finding amazing videos and pictures to make me smile. Thank you Elaina for being the best bro ever in the entire world, fangirling with me about more than just Owl City, and making me laugh all the time. Thank you Kelsey for always making me smile with your kind words and being so nice to me about my photography. Thank you Erieka for being one of the sweetest people ever and complimenting me all the time, when really, you're the beautiful and lovely one. Thank you Nadine for making me laugh and always being so sweet to me. Thank you Marielis for being such a sweet person and freaking out with me about the upcoming concerts. I cannot wait to meet you!! Thank you Roselle for being so nice and always talking about Adam with me because it always cheers me up. Thank you Kara for being so awesome and wonderful to me and I can't wait to see you again because you always make me smile. Thank you Marlene for being so sweet and trusting me by letting me come into your life and even though we don't talk too much, I feel like we kind of have each other's backs in a way and that makes me happy. Thank you Sasha for freaking out with me when Adam tweeted both of us at different times, for being an amazing friend to me, and for being so super sweet. Thank you Greer for being one of my really good friends, fangirling with me all the time, and for always being there for me as well and I've missed talking to you. Thank you Cassie for talking to me about lots of things because we seem to have almost EVERYTHING in common (which is crazy!) and being so nice!

Thank you Rebecca for being one of the nicest people I've ever met and always looking out for me. Thank you Meri for always being there for me, fangirling over other singers/bands that we like, and being so sweet and kind. Thank you Emelie for being so kind to me and fangirling with me all the time. Thank you Olivia for making me cry from laughter, being so kind to me even though we haven't talked in forever, and just being one of the coolest people in the whole world. Thank you Samuel for always cheering me up and making me think more positive about things and being such a nice person. Thank you Simon for being so inspirational and sweet to me when it comes to my photography. Thank you Maja for being so sweet, even though we don't talk too much. And of course, thank you Madeline and Dylan for being amazing people, always cheering me up with anything, and doing all of that for me. And thank you Adam. If I never listened to your music, I seriously doubt that I would even still be here because I wouldn't have fallen in love with you or met all of these amazing people. I love you. I'm sure I missed a couple people (WHICH I AM SO SORRY FOR), but you get the point. Without you guys, I am nothing. So, I think I am done being annoying with my many thanks. I love you and goodnight<3
