Some true insights to life
What better shelter from the storms and trials of daily life than friendship and to know that there is someone out there you can fall back on.
Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there...to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be but when you lock eyes with them, you know that every moment they will affect your life in some profound way.
And sometimes things happen to you at the time that may seem horrible, painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, will power or heart. Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good luck.
Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. Safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless-the people you meet affect your life.
The successes and downfalls that you experience can create who you are, and the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones.

What brought on this revelation?? How did you come across this insight? It's totally true, but i knew you knew this when we met.. Or else did you think i would have let you catch the plane home?

Hi,
It's been awhile. Last I heard you went wandering in India. Last I thought about you, I was worried. Last I read this blog, there hadn't been anything for awhile. Last I got an email from you .... was ages ago.
I don't know what's up with you. I don't know how busy you are. I don't know what's new in your life. Here's the truth - I don't care. I only care about you.
I guess I just wanted to make sure you were doing fine and still alive. On my side, there are jokes I wanted to share with you and stories I wanted to tell you that perhaps only you would get.
I have tried emailing you with no luck and calling you to no avail so I will stop trying now. If and when you want to, email me and let me know how you are.
Much love, Marisa.
