Best wishes and even better intentions
Essentials of Immunology. How exciting. I have been spending way too much time on this. I also have economics to study for, but something compelled me to write this.
I doubt that you come by livejournal anymore. In fact, I am not afraid to admit that this post could be completely pointless. But if you do come by, I wish for you to see this:
Love is as real as anything else. It's just another thing you project onto the world, and even if you're bitter, you've felt it and denying it won’t change it. Even if you now believe it was unfounded and empty, you still felt it for someone, and you'd probably be happier if you accepted that love is not at first sight or one and only, but it is just another emotion like envy, jealousy, happiness and what have you.
For the last two years I had been enamored with a girl. While we shared no common interests, didn't have interesting conversations, argued frequently, I still maintained I was in love, and was tortured by fantasies I knew never could be reality. Through a fortunate set of events, I have now moved on, but a year ago? I would have died for her happiness without question, even though I didn't have a reason to love her except that she is beautiful. Would I ever do it again? No, and it hurts to think that I was so open to someone for who didn't care, but I am thankful that I wasn't more obtuse with someone else who I would have hurt myself more with. The experience's, albeit mostly bad ones, have served as good life lessons, and I feel that at my expense I am now more in love with the world and myself. I would never make some of the mistakes I have made again, but I am glad to have learned on the small stage, rather the colliseum.
It is important to keep in mind that Love is not mutually exclusive to one person in your entire life. Don't say you didn't feel it, because you must have believed you did, and that is all that defines reality from falsehood. And while our experiences may shape who we are, it is our characteristics who define us, and if you walk away far enough to see it from a different perspective, I'm sure you'd find that in some ways you, as a person, have benefited from it. I'd believe it because you seem like a pretty damn cool person to me.

You wrote this for me several summers ago - I miss talking to you.
Last night, as I was flipping through old pictures and reminiscing about that particular point of my life, I thought of you. Talking to you made me a better and a more open-minded person. If you see this, know that I will be taking these words to heart.
Thank you.
I hope there's some way that I could get in contact with you again.
