Someone told you that meant alot
I'm not always the most confident person on earth. I tend to always doubt my thoughts, and just stay shut. But in moments of my most memorable breakthroughs, I do remember one person pushing me to break my silent wall, and that was my long time friend and forever Head Delegate, Amiel.
I remember during our MUN training days, we always have this debate exercise. Which I suck at. For I don't always talk. I tend to think that I might say something wrong, and I don't want to be wrong. And the only way that I won't be wrong is by staying silent.
And Amiel noticed that. He always kept on reminding me to be confident. To speak out. To stand up to myself. Because he trusts my abilities. And it just dawned on me, my thoughts were holding me back. I have the smarts to defend myself, but I was thinking of failure so much, I ended up saying nothing. And I really appreciated that push. Then the next thing I know, we were in New York. In the freakin' United Nations. Representing the country. And that was just amazing.

It was my 21st birthday. I was on the verge of quitting my job. And I told Amiel about it that night. And he straight up lectured me. Telling me to not think of such things, for I am capable of surviving anything. For he saw how I have improved, and how I have grown since college. That I should never give up, for I am doing something great. And I needed that, I needed to hear, and know someone is out there, believing that I can do something. No matter how small and big it is.
Amiel, thought it's been a long time since we have talked, for you are so busy. Please do remember that I am eternally grateful for your presence in my life. I may have not been there so much for you, as you have been there for me. But I am just hands down, thankful to the Man above, for sending you to me as a friend, from elementary til' today. Thank you. And see you soon!
