It's not even funny how strong this person is. I don't think I have met a person this strong and lovely in my entire life (except perhaps Gandhi but I didn't actually meet him- but that's beside the point), and I don't think enough people have said this to him, but hopefully the amount of people viewing this will agree with me.
Because this person has been down lately, and sometimes I feel like I am on one side of a mountain and climbing across to meet this other person and it is a massive struggle with many obstacles and things getting in the way. But that's only because he doesn't open up as much as I believe he should.
I don't slate him for that. I am exactly the same.
That's why I'm bossy with my best friend.
But that's just because I care about my best friend. He's like my brother. He gets me. I get him. It's the circle of life (Disney quotes ftw). He is generous with his time with people who, I don't think, deserve it but because he is kind, he tries his best with everyone. He is patient, with me especially when I am tipsy and emotional (Aber especially) and faithful to his friends, respectful also to what they need and tries so hard with them, even if he doesn't agree. He cheers you on, gives myself confidence especially when I feel like giving up and when I do feel like crap, he is there with that daft laugh of his to make me smile again. He stays in regular contact with everyone and gets us all together when we haven't seen each other for months. He is sociable and does his best, when we are all out, to have a conversation with everyone and he will NEVER leave anyone out. I trust him implicitly, with everything that I say, knowing that he will never gossip when I am serious, but only when he feels like I need more support. Also, unlike so many nowadays, he is honest, and will tell you what he thinks about what you're doing/saying. Supportive, understanding, helpful, non-judgemental and a brilliant listener, I could harp on all day about how brilliant this person is but the next part is where I get serious...
He is genuine and humble (which is why I am embarrassing him with this post ;D) because he truly doesn't think about himself, but others way too much and people take advantage and, as a best friend, that makes me angry. And when people say that he has CHANGED that makes me angry as well. He hasn't changed. People change all the time, I know that, but this person will never be anyone else but himself. There are different layers to a person, you just need to peel the first layers off and delve deeper instead of giving up half way. Not many people realize how much a 'thank you' or a 'thanks' means to this person. It means a lot to me, which is why I ALWAYS say it to this person.
So I want to thank this person:
Thank you for being amazing.
Thank you for being yourself.
Thank you for being my best friend.
Chad Greensill, you don't think about yourself 99% of the time, so let me think about you for that 1% and know that everyone you meet will love you.
Because you are you.
P.S. I know you get teary/emotional about these things, but you know, this is part 2 of intervention ;D part 1 was 'psychological', this part is 'letting you know how much everyone loves you' <3
