Dear Emily

Dear Emily,
You're someone that I think very highly of, but I still underestimate you. If I could be like any person in the world it would definitely be you. I enjoy reading your blogs, I never thought I would, but even your sad blogs are bearable to read, maybe it's because they aren't directed at me, but you consider the readers of the blog, not just 'I'M IN A BAD MOOD SO I'M GOING TO SAY TERRIBLE THINGS.' You're always very literate, how someone can talk about experiences with me and Willy Kerber and say it with integrity and grace is beyond me.
Joey T reads your blog, and he barely reads mine. He always throws "Things my boyfriend says" quotes my way and I know he got the link from your blogger site.
But anyway, I don't know if I've ever told you how much I respect you, the friendship started after at least two years of hatred and it was mainly dirty jokes and stupid actions. That's all I really thought of you during the first part of our friendship "Lol, Emily is so disgustingly fun." but I totally think differently now, you're like a god, basically. I was really impressed by a recent entry about your breakup with David and the way you wrote it was astounding. You mentioned how it would affect everyone around you and listed the pros and the cons and then at the very end you said "And as for me, I won't be happy right now, but that's okay. I'll be alright eventually. Don't worry. It's not always about me anyways. Although this is, very much, sometimes, others deserve to get something too." It was like you went through the whole broken-up process in a few hundred words.
You're an incredible person with more problems than me, but you handle them so much better. I hope you never end up broken down, if I was religious I would pray for you to be happy and successful for the rest of your life. Even if you don't, I hope I can go through your difficult annoying life and we can sit over tea and forget it all, even if it's just for an hour or two.

Tea crew for life.
