To my friends, I love you...
I havent written in a while… I’ve been busy. But i have so much on my mind that tonight i felt the need to write something again.
I felt the need to tell the world how grateful i am to be me.
Here i am, sitting outside on my patio… Candles burning in hanging lanterns and on the bistro table i’m sitting at, the light of a citronella lanterns flickers away the possibility of any mosquito coming near me.
We all dread those little fuckers…
The sound of the night is accompanied with a soft piece of opera - O Mio Babbino Caro - playing in the background.
All else is quiet.
So is my mind.
Those anxious, sad, angry, upset feelings that i felt a few months ago are gone.
I now feel content.
I now feel what i’ve been telling myself all along - “It will get better”.
And it does.
Yes, i still have moments where i think of you but they’re getting fewer and further apart.
Is this what ‘Out of sight, out of mind’ does?
One moment you were my world. The next moment, BAM!
In recent months i’ve been spending time with people who matter. People who make me feel worthy, loved and cared for.
I turned 31 on Monday. I was completely overwhelmed by the loving and kind birthday wishes i received from all over the world. Between the phone calls, the text messages, the tweets and the flood of facebook messages, i received an excess of 250 birthday wishes.
It made me feel like a rockstar for a moment.
Monday night i celebrated my birthday by hosting a dinner for some of the most long-standing friends in my life.
We’re talking 19 years, 12 years, and one or two 10’ers…
People who have maintained a friendship with me through all that i’ve done and gone through. People who have seen me grow up, make stupid mistakes, make the wrong choices, make the right choices, they’ve seen me cry, they’ve seen me laugh, they’ve seen me love…
And they all stuck around…
Clearly i must be doing something right.
For whatever reason, i’m blessed to have these people in my life.
And i’m happy.
I love them, i care for them and i cherish them.
After all, what is life without true friends?
THANK YOU!
