Today I had a very meaningful conversation with my friend. This article is dedicated to him.

My oldest friend. Thank you for being a part of my life. We have been through a lot. We had our ups and downs but we always find a way to nourish our friendship. I know you struggle sometimes, as we all do. When the dark shadow of the night gets the best of you, here is my gift to you. I hope in those dark times you will find comfort in your own eyes. To help you with that, here are my humble words.

From the first day I met you, there was something about you. At first that was hate, but only because you stole all of my friends. I was so mad that I couldn’t see the truth. And with time I felt it too. You have this gift to make a person feel important around you. Even until now, I don’t know what that is. Is it your silly jokes, which sometimes I don’t get? Maybe your endless questions? Or maybe just your life energy. Honestly, I don’t care what it is. I don’t care what makes you, you. The only thing I care about is your wellbeing. There is no price on our friendship. There is no time limit on our friendship. You accomplished that. We accomplished that.

I know you have been a victim of many bad friendships, if I may call them that. I can only imagine the pain and confusion. They didn’t know what they had and were foolish. They were feeding of your energy, because you made them feel good about themselves. Your gift is a curse too. Only time and experience will help you trough. I believe you enriched my life, as so many others. So next time you see yourself in the mirror, smile. Be grateful. Therefore, that is the best weapon for the dark shadow of the night. Embrace it, but don’t let her define you. I am grateful for you.
