One good man

I want to thank you endlessly for your limitless compassion and patience. I want to thank you for putting up with me while I lived in that yellow house. You hear me say the same things over and over again, for 10+ years, and still you don’t seem to resent me.

I want you to know that, no matter how far apart we are now, or whichever way our lives end up going, you have played an invaluable role in my personal development, continue to set the standard for friendship (+), and hold a permanent place in my heart. And I believe that one day, if we are patient, things will turn around for us. —Your Old High School Friend
