A free plane ride is in the air, and just like that my fear of it disappeared

What’s the nicest thing anyone’s ever given you?

I’ve gotten nice gifts before. Thoughtful ones; ones you can tell someone could have only been thinking about me when they decided to get that thing. I’ve gotten gifts that have made me smile and feel appreciated. But the best gift I’ve ever gotten didn’t just made me smile; it also made me cry. It made me remember. It made me feel alright about leaving the past in the past. It reminded me that everything was going to be okay. When he pointed out that it might no longer be relevant to me I wanted to stop him and tell him it’s always relevant. It never stopped being relevant and probably won’t ever be irrelevant. I felt too nostalgic and overwhelmed to let him know that it couldn’t get better then that. When I feel like I’ve lost friends and I’m losing friends, [because I'm constantly losing friends] I just remember that I became a friend to someone. It’s not easy choosing the lonelier road in life. It’s not easy when all the faces you once knew so well become strangers and you’re left stranded with your faith and your strength to carry on [which at times seems to shrink as your friendship circle does]. My friends, you make my life what it is. You give me strength when I don’t have it in me. Your presence doesn’t need to be tangible for me to believe this.

On that note, I will miss you all so much.

Goodbye! See you later
