you.

hey you.

but seriously, i can't really express how much of a pleasant surprise it was to get to meet and know you throughout the year. i remember the initial uneasiness and shyness in getting to know you since i didn't know anything about you beforehand other than the fact that you were the xion reserve at the one game i seem to have manage to stick with despite everything. but that first joke and odd humor just cracked and shattered the shields and it's been that way ever since. being able to be honest with no judgements, that's hard to find in a friend, especially when it's always mutual between us. but that's what makes us such close friends, right?

can't tell you how many times you (and pan) managed to make me smile and laugh on the days when i was at my worst. i don't even know when you became such a strong pillar for me but you are and that's what matters most, i think. you've become a very important person to me and even though i'm always someplace else, whether it be work or with friends, i know that you're gonna be there when i need to talk. i know that you're gonna be there to bonk me on the side of the head when i'm being stupid and irrational. and i appreciate every bit of it.

i hope that when you read this next year that we're still close friends, that we're still able to lean on each other when we need it. and that you don't change but if you do, only for the better and that it's for yourself. and that you're out of that grocery store and in a job that's much better for you.

take care and head into the new year with confidence that i know you have.

Let's face it.

This last year, well- it's had its ups. But it's had a lot of downs, too. You've been too exhausted, too disheartened, too fearful, too infuriated, too sad, and perhaps many other "too"s that are too many to list. But you can't take care of others if you can't take care of yourself first. You know the solutions. You only need to find the courage to take the steps you need to take. And you know it won't be easy. Because that's just life. But you know that you've got to try because not doing so is the only way to completely fail.

I hope you have found that courage again by the time you read this. I hope you've written lists again as you once did. Small goals. Just little steps to get you moving and doing. I also hope you're out of that grocery store, too. We'd planned to leave it the year before, you know? The second year mark was hard enough. I know a third year mark would be murder at this point, even if we both know that's a complete overly dramatic exaggeration.

But honestly, most of all, I hope you've kept the friends you've made a little closer. I hope you've stopped focusing on the things that don't matter and kept your attention drawn to the things that do, to the people that do. Because those are the people that will have helped you through all this. And hopefully, you'll have helped them, too. I know you'll still be working on your people skills. But that's alright. It's us. We'll find our way in time.

Ah, I hope you've kept in mind, too. "Don't let them forget".

Been another year of nutty shit between us, eh partner?

Much as I joke about priding myself on being an enormous pain in your ass; a constant supply of durp to counter-act your obscene amounts of tsundere, I really hope you're having as much fun as I am. I worry a lot that I really am a pain you wish would go away some times. But I'm grateful that you're the only one I call my partner.

There's a lot I know you're struggling to change. And it's my sincere hope that by the time you read these words again, that you've at least taken steps toward those changes. I worry. You internalize a lot; try to carry not only your burdens, but those of everyone close to you. But you shouldn't because bearing our own burdens is how we grow. What you can do is while we venture forth on our journeys, that if someone stumbles with theirs, just help tug them along a little. Help, but don't take it on yourself. And along that note, no matter what kinda pathetic shape I'm in, I don't want you to forget that I can help tug you forward along too. It's that back and forth we have. To be entirely honest; I treasure that.

tl;dr: Long as you don't tell me to piss off and mean it, I'll be by your side however I'm able to.

Keep going forward.

Okay. God that was serious business there. Don't take the shift here that I didn't mean any of that. That shit is pure distilled durp meant for ya.

I'm glad to be threading with you again in a game and it's my sincere hope to finally see you face to face. And then we shall have tea. And if I can find them, I'll be classy and get us crumpets... they're supposed to be like english muffins. Otherwise I'll find us some kinda thing that goes well with tea.

I think I'm done now. And I swear to whatever deity happens to have jurisdiction over this kinda crap that if you make light of what I've said here, it won't be a pillow smack. No. I will bash you with a mattress so bloody hard, you'll wake up in Buena Park, California. Then we can get Portillo's. Cause that is good shit.

PS: I was so tempted to say the whole "I cannot carry your burdens, but I can carry you!" But I didn't. Cause I'm neither Samwise nor a hobbit.
