So I just got back from a weekend out of town, and got DL's message about the article she wrote for Alex's Birthday. I wrote this up, then saw that I'd been too late in getting back. So here is my tribute to Alex.
I love Alex because he can always make me feel better when I'm upset.
I've been diagnosed with depression, and even though I have meds, I still feel really upset sometimes. Alex is better than medication.
Talking to Alex can always make me smile, no matter what. He has a great sense of humor, and he's just so real and open, not to mention genuinely nice and supportive.
If I need to rant about my day, Alex will always listen and cheer me up. Depressed? Ditto. Doing something fun this weekend? He's always excited for me. and helps bring out whatever little good I have in me.
He's like the little brother I wish I had.
Also, Alex makes me feel good about myself. As I've been told on many occasions, my self-esteem is crap. No matter how many times I say I'm ugly and stupid, Alex is always there to tell me I'm lying to myself. Maybe eventually I'll actually believe him, :P
Ales is a truly amazing person, and I've never met anyone quite like him, who can make me smile, laugh, feel better, feel good about myself, etc. as much as he does.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEX! You mean so much to me, *hugs*
