Words with meaning

My name is Emily, I grew up on Long Island and have moved off to Oswego. I have no idea where I'm going in life. I have no idea who I am. Watch me fall apart.

I am only one,
But still I am one.
I cannot do everything,
But still I can do something;
And because I cannot do everything
I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.
-Edward Everett Hale

I want to promise if you leave, that’d I will go soon after. But you never agree to that promise; you’d hate me for it. So I will stay when you go and tell your story to all who are willing to listen. I will write a book about a friend I loved more than anything. One who I fiercely protected; that drove me crazy, made me laugh more than cry and was always a good time. My promise is made. Though I hope you stay to make your story that much more to tell. I pray you stay because I don’t think I can last a day without you
