Probably one of the few people who makes it a point to read other's blogs sent me the sweetest, most heartwarming message that it warranted a post, and I hope the writer of this doesn't mind that I posted it! I just felt so floored after getting it, it meant so much to me:
"I know email is incredibly informal, unpersonal, and implies that the writer lacks the time to tell you something in person, but believe me when I say this isn't the case.
I wanted to just tell you-- sometime, in the last couple of weeks or so, I don't know when it hit me, but I had this realization. I realized that I'm so incredibly glad I got to know you better this semester. You and I kind of run in the same circles, but kind of not the same circles [because we're different years, therefore we're in different classes, and we've never lived near each other either], and you've been one of those people that I tell myself "wow, I'd really like to get to know her" because you are awesome, and I'd like to hope that people look up to me like I look up to you.
It's been by slightly-serendipitous, a bit of plans-gone-awry, but all sorts of awesomeness that you and I have gotten the chance to hang out this semester, and I'm so thankful for it. I really feel like I can say "yeah, I know Richa Gupta, she's MY friend", and say it meaningfully [not that "acquaintance" type crap that you get with a lot of people you're just facebook friends with, if you get what I mean].
As things are for people like you and me, I'm sure the end of the semester will all of a sudden become jam packed with things to do in the next few days [despite the fact there are already a million things to do before the semester ends], and so I wanted to remember to write this to you and let you know that you are awesome, and I can't wait to get to see you even more next year.
You definitely inspire me Richa :)"
Can't even begin to say how much this made me feel like I must be doing something right. And how I am so lucky to have the best friends in the world.
