I don&...I really don't know what to say either. I don't think what we went through in those four years could ever be summed up in words. Like you said, nothing would be enough. But what you've done here, what you've given me, is something I can hold on to for the rest of my life. Years later, I can come back to this and I'll know exactly what it felt like to spend those 4 amazing years with you and the rest of the gang.<br /><br />How quickly the years pass by, huh? It feels like just yesterday that I was messing around with your phone and having lengthy conversations with your Dad. (:P) Who knew then that this would turn into a friendship like never before, one that would remain as strong and powerful through four years of rocky roads and uphill struggles? <br /><br />We couldn't be more different if we tried. We differ on almost every account. Our feelings about research, our attitude towards things, our very personalities. In fact, I think we have more in common with other people in our gang than we do with each other. But the fantastic thing is that despite monumental differences in personalities, we found so many things to share our feelings about. Whether it be Smallville or Thai Express or playing games on bus rides to keep ourselves entertained, we always found something to connect us. And I think we are one of the finest examples for the saying that people grow closer after fights. How many fights have we had? I can't even count them. But every single one of them taught us a little about the other, and taught us to better ourselves a little bit. That doesn't happen in every relationship. People give up after a couple of fights, but we made sure that we learnt from each one and moved on. Together.<br /><br />I have learnt so much in four years. I've grown more than I would've thought possible. And a majority of the credit for that goes to you. Having someone so different from me as a friend really opened my eyes to the other side of things. Had I only been around other people like me, I would never have known what it is to look at life through a different perspective. For that, I'm truly glad that you came into my life.<br /><br />But the most important thing remains that through these four years, whenever we had fun together, I was the happiest I've ever been. When people ask me which phase of my life I enjoyed the most, I can say "uni life" without hesitation. Despite not really enjoying what I was doing academically, I found joy in every other aspect. Lab was a thousand times more tolerable because I had you to share my experiences with. You pulled me through some very difficult patches, and I think I've had some of the most enjoyable moments of my life in your company. That honour doesn't go to anyone else. :)<br /><br />So, my dear Macho Girl, though we may not be spending the rest of our lives in the same country or doing the same thing, let me assure you that we will always be friends forever. We've already established that we don't need anything in common to keep us friends, and it shall remain that way forever. And this way, we get to share our experiences (as different as they may be) with each other, and enlighten each other to new things. Isn't that fascinating? Don't you worry even a bit ... amazing things are in store for you. Just take the time to enjoy them and cherish them like you have these four years. :)<br /><br />I love you very much, and I'm proud to see that you've grown into a lovely young woman who is capable of tackling the challenges that life throws her way with maturity and strength. I'm glad to have been part of that journey and I will always cherish what we had ... no, <i>have</i> together. :D<br /><br />*hugs tight*<br /><br />P.S.: How did I never realize until now how appropriate that Faith Hill song was? *facepalm*Anushahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16337280355893413015noreply@blogger.com
