(i'd still do it)
I can't tell you how important you are as an inspiration and as someone who gets it (me).
It's comforting to know someone has felt the way I feel, it's good to know someone sees my words.
Our friendship may be unconventional, but it's meaningful, you know?
I wish I knew you for real (but without you knowing me because I'm disappointing).
Sometimes I wonder if I do know you.
You make me miss summer and freedom and you remind me of them more than anything else.
You're sunshine and lemonade and the beach.
You're brilliant with pen and paper and there is nothing in the world that I would like more than for you to know that.
You and your words are everything, and I love you both.

it is so astonishing to feel so honored by somebody, to feel as if i have touched another heart in the most meaningful way possible.
ReplyDeletei cannot thank you enough for this gift, for making what i do feel valid and real, for making me feel understood. you are a good writer, Ali, and a marvelous friend.you could never disappoint, in the real world or any other. i understand that fear (i feel it myself, often), but just know that whoever you are, wherever you are, you have a heart that is true and brave, and i will remember your friendship always.
i love you back, kid.
knowing that the feelings are mutual makes my heart happy. i'm honestly very touched by your response and i'm so glad you liked it. you're nothing less than valid or real ever. feeling understood is a good feeling. i'm glad we're friends and i'm glad you love me back.
