There are many people in this world. Each person has his own personality and capabilities, as well as incapabilities. Each is unique. Each is distinct from the other in some ways. Out of this pool of people, some standout among the rest.
The people that someone sees standing out the crowd may not be the same people you see outshining others. Each person sees others in a way different from how the other person views others. Some people you see you will understand, some you will not, some you do not understand each other,and some, do not understand you. As for me, these "kinds of understandings" are just usual. I do not remember when exactly did I start having this feeling of being not understood, but since I was a child, I all ready had trouble finding true friends. Later, I just got immuned from the fact that people around me do not understand me, not even my own family.
But still, out of this pool who do not understand me, out of this same people I encounter everyday, somehow, someone, did something ecactly the opposite. This girl is so, so different. Unlike others, she believes in me. She gives me faith, something that I seldom get. Unlike others, she accepts me. I know she could turn away from me, but she did not. I thought she will just leave just like what others did, but she stayed. She stayed and listened. For a long time, I never had someone who is willing to listen to me. Unlike others, she gave me a chance to get out of my shell and show the real me. She gave me a chance to have a friend. She understands me. She gave me the kind of understanding that I never felt for so many years. She gave me the kind of understanding I need the most.
This girl has the ability to see things beyond appearances. She sees in someone things that even that someone does not see it inside him himself. I used to feel empty even when I am already filled with anger and hatred. But, she made me realize and see some goodness in me. She makes me feel how it is to overflow with love. She brings out the best in me. Also, I never really thought that we will be as close as sharing our ups and downs. She gives me a shoulder to lean and cry on. She gives me hope and courage and strength to stand up every after fall. For so many years, I found a friend, and the bestfriend actually. I am so blessed to have her in my life. I do not really know how to thank her. Words are not enough to say how much she means to me. I love her. I love her more than I can show or say.
To the girl- Bai*, salamat kaayo**. I love you.
*Bai- we call each other bai
**Thank you very much.
