Taken From Moniques blog.
Just write down ten things, each about a different person and directed to them, but don't say who they are.
I hope others partake in this. I thought it was a fantastic little project.
1.) I feel somewhat separated from you. For a while it seemed like we were really getting close and then bang, schedules and shows and movies and a series of other events just sort of killed that and pushed our friendship onto the back burner. Sometimes I feel like this happened because of the fact our schedules are sooo busy, and sometimes I wonder if there's more to it. That maybe certain things that happened made you shy away from both me and others who had been close to us at the time. But I still love you very much... and think about you... and read your blog because I am not only very interested in your well-being but love reading anything you write. And I also know that very soon we WILL be together on a consistent basis so maybe I'm just worrying myself silly because, you know, I do that. ;)
2.) Alright, since summer I have become rather close with you. Close enough that you've become comfortable with sharing things with me and I think that's very cool. However, I don't think it's cool when you constantly turn these things on yourself and begin to beat up your ego over everything that goes wrong. I also don't think it's healthy that you dwell on it for so long that you begin to drive yourself (and at times those around you) insane. But it sounds like you're really starting to take the bull by the horns and I really admire that. Now just as long as you stick to that...
3.) We tend to confide in each other quite often and I respect your opinion very much. You're honest and rather blunt but not cruel and you never put me down since you know how sensitive I can be. To be perfectly honest for the last few months I've been rather worried about you. Things have happened and you've made a few drastic decisions and at times you seem like you're not coping very well. I don't doubt you're ability to handle what comes your way because I think you are extremely smart and mature, but I just want to make sure that you currently dont have way too much on your plate. But I also know that everyone has their share of hard times and this is just a point in your life where you're really beginning to get all of the shit together and just get it sorted out and delt with, one by one.
4.) We were reasonably close for a time, but life kind of changed that. I'm doing my thing, you're doing yours and thats cool. I feel that, at this point, if I was around you as much as I'd used to be I'd want to put a bullet through your skull. I understand that people change and grow apart and move onto new things, but this just happened way faster then I had hoped for. I do see you through completely different glasses now, but that doesn't mean I have any less respect for you. We're just two completely different people with many different interests and passions. However the one main passion that we DO share is something that you are SO wonderfully talented in that it makes me want to stick around just to see you succeed... because you WILL in one form or another. There is no doubt in my mind... not a single doubt...
5.) Most of the time if I have an issue you're the first person I turn to because you tend to be pretty direct and to the point with your feed back. Most of the time I appreciate this, but sometimes it seems like you're ignoring half of what I'm telling you and just talking down to me, defeating the reason I came to you in the first place. For help and advice. Belittling me doesn't help me, and sometimes you get on such a roll that that's exactly what it seems like you're doing. You get so passionate... so intense that it seems like everything I've said to you has gone in one ear and out the other and I end up feeling confused and, to be honest, worse off then I was when I came to you. Out of everyone I know I thought myself to be closest with you. Currently I'm questioning my feelings.
6.) I am so extremely happy that you came into my life when you did. At a point where I'm starting to determining the positives and the negatives, you are quite possibly the MOST positive of them all. You never cease to make me smile and make me feel content, and for the longest time that was lacking in my everyday life. I've known you for quite some time but we had never gotten the chance to just sit and talk and get to know eachother. But you're wonderful... you really are. You're so extremely thoughtful and comical and caring and I just hope our friendship continues to grow because I would love to have someone like you in my life for quite some time. And P.S.- I don't think I've met anyone whose sense of humor goes so well with my own. I've also never met anyone whose laughed at my jokes as much and that makes me feel so good, even if my sense of humor is still really overwhelming.
7.) Similar to #6, I've just recently started to associate with you outside of our mutual project (also acting related) and find you to be a complete joy to be around. Our first day together was a complete blast and you had me laughing from start to finish. I've never met someone like you... you dont look like your the type of person who could understand my sense of humor but dear GOD you totally DO, and the amazing thing is yours is just as weird!!! You're such a sweetheart and I definitely dont get to see you as much as I'd like to. I just hope that, now that our project is wrapped and over with, we can still find time for eachother because you are really someone I'd love to make a part of my life.
8.) You're one of the only people I know who hasn't completely changed... you are still you... and I appreciate that more then you know. You've always been three steps ahead of everyone we've ever associated with and every single one of us acknowledges that and appreciates it. You're going to do huge things. There's no way you wont. You're too smart... too well-rounded... too well-seasoned in life to not. I just cant wait to see what exactly it is that you'll do.
9.) Sometimes I feel like talking to you is like talking to a cardboard cutout. Sharing things with you can be extremely hard because, if you dont agree it seems as if you just dont seem to care. You seem to skate over the emotional ice of things and I often avoid discussing things with you out of fear of how youll react. I think there are certain topics I will NEVER discuss with you because I know youll never understand where I'm coming from or why I feel the way I do. Sometimes I think out of all of my friends, we seem to have the weakest bond. Sometimes I feel we have one of the strongest... I dont understand how that works out...
10.) There are moments when I think our situation together has been one of the best things to ever happen to me. I often come to you for advice and the feedback you give me is priceless. You're honest and genuine and so openly caring, always backing up what you say to me with well thought out reasoning and compliments that make me feel truly positive about myself. You come off as so wise and well-spoken and I feel as if nobody gives you the credit you deserve. You're a fantastic performer and I hope that you eventually realize that within yourself.
