I'm Crying

Dear Blog,

I just got done opening a couple dozen letters left behind for me after my graduation party. Before working on them, I got out a sheet of paper to write down who to sent thank-you letters to. I would also write down what to thank them for.

 

Before going through these letters, I was depressed for various reasons, most of them having to do with relationships. I've always been a little awkward and have found it hard to feel that my friends supported me. I wanted to spend more time with them, but I'm graduating.

 

The letters made me cry as I realized how much I am loved. My favorite letter was from a good friend. It contained no money, no gifts, just a simple message.

 

Congratulations, Mono!

 

Thanks for all the memories! We have had many good times. Stay in touch and don't forget about me!

Love,....................................

Best prom date EVER!

What happened next is hard to explain. I cried. I simply, plainly, openly, unabashedly cried. Tears had been making their way down my cheeks for several minutes, but this time I needed to stop to take the time to let them flow.

 

I've never cried tears of joy before. Nothing's ever touched me like this. Nobody's ever gone out of their way to write me a letter telling me that I'm appreciated. Guys, I can't express myself enough here. This is one of the best feelings I've ever had.

 

Sincerely,

Monosmith

Having gone through the whole graduation thing (and will again next year >_<), I can empathize. Sometimes telling someone how appreciated they are is the kindest gesture you can offer.

To go for the simple: I'm quite happy for you, in an unsarcastic way.

 

Yeah, kinda can't really think of much else to say.
