I've really been feeling the love lately. Things, since around a couple of months ago, just seemed to be going up and up and up. Perfect days, perfect nights, perfect weekends- perfect people.
From the family, my base, my foundation, nothing but love and support. Some of us are together, some are not, yet the ties are strong. They are my first port of call, the people I know who will hold me up no matter what. If I learnt nothing, it's that, and over the years of trials and tribulations, I've learnt that the love holding a family together is so fierce that sometimes it burns, but these burns are part of it all.
From my closest, oldest friends, the people I grew up with. The people I was openly an idiot with, I laughed with, I cried with, built so many memories with. We are scattered all over the world, yet our friendships are strong. They are the people I am completely and utterly myself with; no secrets, nothing held back. And they know my love for them is unshakeable.
From my newer mates, the people I am inspired by. Those who show me a different side of life, a different side of myself. I am always learning and growing, and as these people come in and out of my life on an intricately woven path, I am forever grateful no matter the circumstances. Some stay, some go- but all have my gratitude.
From my brief acquaintances, people I've met over the years for perhaps a few hours during some event. Those who made me laugh, made me dance, made me talk. Our paths cross, our lives come together for the briefest of times, yet the impact is so strong they will never be forgotten. We share a space and time together, a link that has its life and then leaves, but something is always left behind.
This is my letter of love and gratitude to all who know they've been in my life and have added something to it. It is my assurance that I take none of it for granted, and that as I walk the streets on my own with a ridiculous smile on my face, it's because I'm thinking of you. I am on a cloud, and as I enjoy this journey and acknowledge that it will not last forever, I'm taking the time to relish this rare moment where everything just seems to be coming together.
