He's the reason why I'm posting an entry after being inactive for quite a while(darn you school! And probably because of work too - I have a job now, yay!), and it's not because of any crush or heartbreak or romantic link or whatever. To set the record straight, he's practically my boy bestfriend. And I know some people would still put malice in it but come on! Can't a guy and a girl have a platonic relationship? It's the 21st century dammit!
Anyway, I'm here to say that I think Nel is one of the best people that ever came to my life. I think I've known that since I became friends with him last year(my 1st yr in uni), and it's not just because he almost always treats me food and/or buys me gifts. Earlier today, I ran into him after classes and he handed me the card he made for vday - he was supposed to give it to me on the 14th but circumstances. He told me to read it when I went home(or was that my decision?), and I did. Now it's nighttime, I haven't eaten dinner, and I'm crying like a baby. That was how emotional I got, reading his letter.
Like I said before, Nel is one of the best people in my life and through that letter, I realized why. He knew me, like really knew me. Not the me that most people know, but the person behind all the shows and facade. He knows that I'm oversensitive, that I get too emotional, and that, in spite of me being cheery and crazy and weird, I'm someone who feels lonely and alone all the time. I didn't need to tell him all these things about myself because he already knows - better than anyone, I think even better than myself. And that makes me so genuinely happy.
