Taking stock
I've been doing a bit of a mental spring-cleaning of late, trying to get my head in better order, sort out my priorities, and figure out what I really value, and what I want from life.
One thing that is becoming increasingly clear to me, is how incredibly lucky I am in my best friend. I don't trust easily, but I know that there is one person in the world who has stood by me through everything, even when I've taken him for granted.
Raj sometimes has to give me a kick in the pants when I veer off into stupid headspaces, and however mad I might get with him at the time, it usually doesn't take more than a couple of days for me to realise that he's right. And the fact that he cares enough to go through the rather tedious procedure of explaining to me, time and time again, exactly where I've taken a wrong turn in my train of logic, is something that I'm only just beginning to comprehend the rarity of.
Raj is probably hands-down the smartest across-the-board person I know. He has his obvious talents, but the really cute thing is that he can tell you something you didn't know about almost everything. He's open to finding out about just about anything that interests you, because he has the rare gift of being able to find the value in the most banal of things, and store it away for future use.
Anyway, he's the one with the gift for writing, but I just wanted to say that I miss him when he's not around, and I think whatever happens to me, I'll always have cause to look back and be grateful that he befriended me back in Stage 1 Egyptian History.
You can say I told you so
If you wanted me to go.
I just wanted you to know
That the world is ugly,
But you're beautiful to me.
