You know I always read. Man, that was just amazing. Even if it was just your thoughts - it brought tears to my eyes. You always seem to find ways to say/write the things I want to hear/read or the things I wish I myself could say/write. And you do this all without even trying. You are real. You've never put on a mask to try to be something you are not, as many of us have - myself included. I've never met anyone quite like you. I still remember freshmen year, Gatewood's class. I developed a sort of crush on you that it seemed like so many other girls had - just because of the fact that you had (and still have) such an amazing sense of self.
