Dear Marc

This is a letter I wrote to a dear friend of mine at the end of 2009. He had posted a blog that highlighted the good the bad, and the people and events that shaped his 2009. It made me smile that he even thought to make mention of me.
The universe had thrown him quite a lot of unfortunate things during the year, and in times when an ordinary person may have lost hope, he found a way of holding it (and everyone else) together. He is a great friend and a great inspiration in my life, and I felt it was important to let him know this.


My dear Marc...

That note you wrote really made me laugh and smile! I love how reflective everyone gets as the New Year approaches. So I just wanted to reflect a bit on what you mean to me.

I know we have a funny little friendship, seeing bits of each other here and there, but in some funny way it works. I know that if everything in my life were to crash and fall, you would be one of the first friends I would go running to, and I know for certain that you would be there for me.

I have been going through a bit of a rough time since being back from London, and I just keep thinking about this year hasn't been so great for yourself, you have lost one of your closest friends, you have had the most amazing experience travelling Europe, only to come back home where the grass doesn't seem so green.

It's tough settling back into home, or adjusting to a big change, especially losing someone close in your life, but you Marc, always seem to pull through! You are much stronger than you think at times!

I just wanted to let you know that you always inspire me. Sometimes I don't feel like getting out of bed, and I will look at your facebook, and see that no matter how good or shit of a time you are going through you will always make an effort to get out and life live (and look fabulous doing so!)

I really admire you as a person, and a friend, because if you are not happy with something, you don't waste your days doing it. This is why I guess you are constantly looking for a job!! But I love that you won't spend your days doing something you don't love and I am confident that in 2010, because of all the people you have touched and inspire everyday, good things will come your way.

Much love, and here's to more fun times in 2010..
