Dear Maria,
You asked us to tell you your strengths, and since you're a nagging lil bitch, I thought i'd tell you over the internet, considering you've been persuading me to start my blog again.
Where to start... You, my little Bulgarian friend, are one of the most influential people in my life. I know that with wisdom beyond your years and a gleam in your eye that never fades, you touch the lives of everyone around you, undoubtedly for the better. The confidence you have is spellbinding, you take life with ease and confidence and achieve your dreams without fail. If I, or my kids, ever have as much confidence as you, I will be the proudest person alive. This confidence is what makes you a life changing person, your ability to take life in your stride and your energy to persistently say yes when the world is constantly saying no, is what makes me most proud to be your friend. But, your smile when you reach a goal, is what makes me most happy to be your friend. I hope no one ever budges this confidence because I know with it you can conquer the world.
Kindness is something everyone aims to have, but many people genuinely lack. You, however, have as much kindness in your heart as knowledge in your brain. It's endless. You put others first and want to make their lives just as amazing as yours (and for your shortness, you give pretty good hugs). No matter how shit your day has been, you are always there to give people a positive push in the right direction. And although I have heard you bitch about many people (mainly when you're drunk), I know that every bone in your body is used in order to help others.
However within people are there are always differences, their interests, their opinions and their styles. It is your fascination in other people's interests and your thirst for knowledge that I truly love about you. Whether it's me rambling on about sport, psychology or Cecelia Ahern, you always listen with full attention and take everything on board, remember it and then add it into later conversations. You truly are a friend that remembers the little things. Our lives are made up of big life moments that change our paths, however it is the little moments that make our happiness and create our fondest memories, and I know deep in my heart my fondest memories are with you.
Me and you, we're completely different. You're an organised business woman, and i'm a disorganised mess. I love fiction, you love facts. My wardrobe is a floral disaster, yours is stylish and chic. However, we just click, hours of pointless conversations, hysterical laughter and DMCs are the purest form of friendship and that truly is what we have. So, before this gets too soppy. You asked us to make lists of the things you're good at, but that list is truly endless. You're a selfless, driven, inspiring, knowledgeable woman who deserves all the recognition she deserves. Your time is coming and it's all down to how amazing you are.
Love always,
Lois Mae
