Really? That's such a relief; I was worried that I had rambled on about nonsense for a bit there. I'm not sure that I can say much else...
Okay, I can. You are seriously awesome. You aren't the one author that everyone talks about, or a programmer whose games always sell out, but (online, at least,) you're amazing to talk to. I look forward to messaging you because you usually have something to say that cheers me up somehow. Like just now, about "such talent which can entertain an audience." You've never seen me perform and I have fairly mediocre roles, but you still insist that I have talent. You boost me up just as much as I boost you, if not more. I can count on you for an opinion and I don't have to worry about making an impression on you. I can say whatever I want, and either you heartily respond or, if it's badly-timed, awkwardly-worded or just plain weird you let it slide and everything's fine.
And I can have really serious discussions with you, which I think has made me deeper as a person. I've learned that I can give good advice if I have time to think it out, and that I can keep a conversation going (but only if it's with you. xD) You've listened to every one of my rants and handled them fine, and knowing that there's always someone I can turn to is an amazing feeling. So chin up, buddy. You are cooler than all those people doing cool things, because doing awesome things doesn't always mean you're awesome at heart. And that's my impression of you. =)
Onthe other hand, I do understand how you feel about stress. I feel like there's always something to do and something to worry about compared to last year. High school has rattled me, and the workload has been manageable but somehow is affecting the way I think. It's hard to let myself truly relax most of the time, and it's been affecting how much sleep I've been getting, my memory (for everyday things like field-trip forms and bringing a prop to theater,) and my level of happiness. It just hasn't felt good, and it makes all of the bad things seem worse. It might also be the reasonthat my acne is acting up, which only adds to my stress and comes full circle...sometimes I wish that life could be taken in smaller doses. =/
But we must both cheer up, because we can't do great things if we're feeling down. We're no use to the world if we're moping around! We must trudge through and lift our spirits high so we can soar above even our own expectations. Yes, lousy metaphor.

HAPPYBIRTHDAYHAPPYBIRTHDAYHAPPYBIRTHDAY! It's past twelve where you are, so I'm right on time. Though getting older gives you more responsibilities and pressure, take some time to enjoy your special day and relax as best you can on a school day. =D
And this is super long so any spelling mistakes are there because I am lazy.
