Dear Friend
December 18, 2007
I am an Aquarius (on the cusp of Pisces even). One quality associated with Aquarians is that they are hypersensitive. This is one thing I tell anyone that I am in a relationship with of any kind. I will always take something wrong, I will always be hurt easily, and I will always take things personally. I know this is how and who I am, but I cannot change it. Believe I have tried, but I always fail. I have never had a problem making friends due to my extroverted nature– the fact that I do not embarrass easily also helped. There are some that I have met that I would do anything for. They are simply amazing people. You forget that there is a real capacity for a great world until you meet these special people. They are the ones with the contagious smile, the optimistic personality, and/or the new outlook that you are looking for. They are the ones that get you thinking outside of the box and motivating you to fulfill your goals. I have been blessed to meet many of them. Now, if I ever hurt them– intentional or not– I would be highly upset. I mean, if someone else hurts them, I can hurt that said someone, but what do I do when it is me that hurts them? I could not deal with myself! I do not set out to hurt my dear friends. I would do anything to see them smile. But I know who I am is often misinterpreted. It really is. A lot because of how the world has molded our minds, but a lot because I cannot articulate what I am thinking/wanting/doing very well. Hard as I try, it comes out as either bs, muttled, or so jumbled that one would just have to shake their head rather than try to figure out what I am trying to say.
I have a friend that I have not done well in keeping in touch with. She is one of the most sweetest people you could ever hope to meet with that contagious smile that shows off her pearly whites. She had emailed me a couple of weeks ago and I just got around to my emails yesterday. She had sent me some christmas pictures of her. The first one I opened up had that wonderful smile and it instantly made me smile but at the same time I got this dejected look on my face and became saddened. I miss her very much because she was the one person who respected me as a person and my thoughts. She was the one person who recognized that just because I was young did not mean that my outlook or opinion on life was any less valuable or substantial.
I moved suddenly so as not to be a burden to my friends any longer because it was really eating me up inside. But because I generally have a one-track mind, I am not at all the best person at keeping in touch with people. I do well to email my sister from time to time. :/
I emailed her back and immediately told her how much she meant to me. I didn’t even ‘think’ about it; I just did it. Why not? It’s true. And I began to think about how peoople deal with relationships. How they treat their friends. Do they tell them how valuable they are to them? Do they let them know what they mean to them? It is always said that you should treat each day as your last, right? So you should tell those you love that you love them…
That being said, I would like to challenge anyone to tell their friends how amazing they are. Tell the ones you hold dear that they are loved. And tell them why. It is so easy to call someone amazing, but it’s even more real when you tell them what it is exactly that makes them so special.
