Thank you for your willingness to learn.
What I need when I feel particularly anxious and to respect boundaries. When we were roommates, you were always understanding of my need for space in times of anxiety, sending texts peppered with hearts, “I love you’s” and “It’s going to be okay’s” instead of entering my room. You came to know that sometimes, all I need is to know that someone is there for me, even if they are not physically close, and more importantly, you always respected that.
Thank you for reminding me that the worries consuming me are unimportant in the grand scheme of life.
In college, you were always by my side to reassure me that an “A minus” midterm would not affect my ability to graduate college Summa Cum Laude, obtain the job of my dreams, and attend law school. Thanks to your encouragement and kind words, I now fully understand that small missteps cannot prevent me from achieving my goals.
