what makes you different makes you beautiful

so, i have this friend.

and…to sum it up, he’s unlike anybody else i know. his name is benjamin zaientz. i decided to write a text post about him, because he really deserves his own text post. i just feel like i need to rant to the world, or whoever is reading this, about how madly in love with him i am, and how he’s influenced me.

firstly, i need to talk about how adorable he is. he says the cutest things, and calls me “mamela.” i mean, come on, how cute is that. mamela. it just rolls right off the tounge, so adorable. and he’s just a walking teddy bear, in the real scheme of things too. although he won’t hug me in public, and i don’t know why that is, to be honest, but he gives great handshakes, and secretly, i’ve always wanted to hug him. he’s always the first person to IM me when i’m online and i love talking to him, whether we’re talking about our beliefs on religion, or just about how our day went. he’s so sweet, and i text him every morning to say good morning. truth.

now moving on, i can hardly even begin to make a dent in how he’s influenced me, even after only a short time of really knowing each other, and mainly talking to each other via IM. pathetic, i know, but i love him nonetheless. he’s opened my eyes to so many new concepts, especially about Judaism, that i had never realized before, or thought about. he’s lifted my confidence in myself in general, which i love about him. he’s a great guy. you’re the best, ben<3.
