File this under “Sentimental Things Robert Says About Me That Could Be Applied to Him Too”. What a great friend. Seriously, he’s one of my most cherished friends. I started to tear up but gathered my wits to finish reading his email (we’re hardcore and conversing via email right now).

Gahhhhhhhh. What did I do to have such a valuable friend in my life?

I’ve been feeling a bit down and he knows just what to say to remind me I’m a lovely person. I’m not being cocky. One of the CCAs at the Lynn told me it’s okay to proclaim your value, to proclaim how wonderful, amazing, and awesome you are. Spread it. You’re not being cocky; you’re stating a fact. Never forget you are wonderful and lovely. That’s right. I’m looking at all of y’all.

I am lovely and you are too.
