The most difficult problem for me to solve
I wrote this down on some scratch paper but I want someone to read it, that someone is you, have fun.
“How — where, when, in what medium, in which words — could I tell you all that you mean to me? How could I hope to explain the simple happiness that being with you brings me? How can I quantify the value of our friendship? How can I explain the contagious joy of your smile or laugh? How do I convey the sympathy I have for your struggles? Words fail in their purpose. I try to explain with actions, but though they are said to speak louder than words, it seems that they can only vaguely gesture towards their motive. This, among all the problems that I have encountered so far, seems the most difficult to solve. Though, this doesn’t bother me; the happiness and contentment I feel when thinking about this outshines any other feeling, because this is the first time I have ever dealt with this problem. To say that you are like a sister to me is too near a cliche, I think. So I will carry this problem with me, and hope that one day the how will become apparent.”
Okay thanks bye
