Received a text from a friend today that I haven’t spoken to in a few weeks that said something pretty remarkable:
“I would like to thank you for befriending me back in high school when I was awkward and you were cool.”
It meant a lot to me. More than I could put into words. Here this whole time I was thinking I was the one that people were being kind to, turns out we’ve been sharing in the kindness. That’s a pretty fantastic thing.
What do you say to something so humbling? I think I came up with a pretty good response:
“I’m a super awkward person yet somehow people still want to be associated with me, so thanks for being one of those people.”
Here’s hoping we always have people in our lives that make us feel like heroes and humble us at the same time.
