After a very tiring day, while attempting to manage my inbox chaos as promised, I came to a long letter from one of my best friends whom I rarely see though we often speak. I don’t want her to be embarrassed that I posted this so I’ll keep it anonymous. However, I truly believe compliments are only as admirable as the people who are giving them. In this situation, to receive any (let alone such an abundance) would have been a great honor in itself. Here is the excerpt which was so completely unexpected that it brought me to tears:
Anyway, I just wanted to give you a little insight into what was happening. I haven’t spoken about this to anyone else, but I surely want you involved in all aspects. You seriously amaze me - from your job, beauty, fashion sense, humor, humility, your whole life is truly glamorous—and I know you’ll try to downplay all the compliments I give you (like you always do), but I really admire you, and I’m very glad to know you. You inspire me, and every time I spend time with you, it pushes me to be better myself.
I don’t know what to write back to her yet. So, for tonight, I suppose a simple “thank-you and I love you dearly” will have to suffice…
