It is a challenge every day being away from those who've known me forever, to whom an explanation is unnecessary, an understanding, intrinsic.
I cherish and hold dear many people whom I've encountered throughout the years- some for how they make me feel, others for how I understand I make them feel, and in the lucky circumstance, a few for the unparalleled harmony we create as one.
It is to these people whom I dedicate my thoughts today. To those who've seen me trudge shallow waters and scour mountain tops- remaining loving nevertheless. To those whom my heart flutters in the surreal wake of how deep a mutual appreciation can root itself.
Despite how true the notion of growing increasingly fond of something only when it no longer surrounds us is, remembering and crediting the strength of friendships afar remains a challenge for me. It lies within my nature to perceive actions, reactions and a lack of action personally- and too often, unfairly.
But were it not for those moments of insecurity, those troubled times of doubt and distance between friends, the pride of having defeated the muck would not, and could not, reach its true and full appreciation.
There is something to be said, and unfortunately a lesson one is unable to learn before time permits the lesson be taught, for overcoming the petty, embracing the flaws and laughing whole-heartily at the idiosyncrasies of another- because the reward of such unconditionality, is unwavering and unquestioning.
Maybe others remain unaware of this gift because there seems no adequate form of explanation whilst describing the emotion it evokes. Until you've experienced it, felt loved to the kernel of your being for all of, and only what that kernel has to offer-it will remain an unfortunate mental impossibility.
Heartfelt thanks to those who've allowed me this luxury. I don't have to tell you who you are, and that's the best part.
