I was only going to post this tomorrow, but since I've just been told to spend the day tidying up, I have no idea if I'll have the time.
Anyway.
My dears,
Come Christmas and everybody is talking about Christmas gifts and all, and believe me, it's not that I don't like gifts, truth be told, I'm crazy for them, and it brought me back to the true Christmas spirit.
You see, the thing is... You guys? You are the best present a girl could wish for. I mean, let's face it, why the hell would I need anything else? You are there for me whenever I need, to bitch with me or about me when needed be or to give me support. You guys make me smile when I would rather cry and wipe my tears when that's all that can be done. And you never once did me cry. Having people to be there for me, to have my back no matter what... To have partners that not only care, but UNDERSTAND me (or try to), to actually KNOW me... That's the greatest gift of all. So yeah, I'm damn lucky to have you, all of you. And I wouldn't dare ask for anything else. I've heard once that one does not thank people for their friendship, but what if a single"thanks" is all you can do? What if there aren't words, in any language (at least the ones I know) to express just how important they are to you? I guess this song of Wicked can describe better my thoughts, but I still feel it's not enough. All the presents, messages and texts wouldn't be enough, I'm afraid, to express my gratitude. So yeah, Santa got it right this time. He gave me the most incredible, awesome, extraordinary, incredible present a girl would have never dreamed of wishing for. He gave me you. All of you. And I'm so damn lucky.
Clari, KB, Leanne... Meeting you guys was a real pleasure. The gutter in my mind cheers the three of you. My entire year would have been so much more dull without you guys.
Mica... You were the first person of the fandom I spoke to. And the first to become my friend. I'll never forget our insane conversations.
Ana... Sweet, sweet Ana. What can I say? You're the most incredibly sweet person I've ever met.
Iso... My husband, my Bärchen, you're the best wife a girl could ask for. We're so incredibly mean together it's a amazing haha
Gabs... Minha conterrânea... You're my person. Even though you won't believe it sometimes.
Debs, you're the boss. haha You're the only one I've actually gotten to meet. It was beyond amazing.
Marcela... I guess after 7 long years, I don't really need to say a word, do I?
And as for Jayd and Hannah... I don't know what would be of my life without the two of you. It's that simple.
I'm a damn fortunate girl, for having received so many special presents. So different from me, but yet, somehow, we manage to get along just fine. I guess I should start calling Marlowe "Santa" from now on, since he's the true responsible for everything, I guess. Well, not everything but giving us a common ground that made us find ourselves and be where we are now. I know I'm not the easiest person to be around, most of the time, since I'm as moody as the wind and as sensible and proud as anyone will ever be (which sucks, btw, but that's not relevant), but I'm so glad you guys took the time and cared enough to stay. So, stealing Wicked's words: You've helped me rewritten my story, just by being my friends.
And you'll always be with me, like a handprint on my heart. A lovely one, for the matter.
Just thought you should know thought you guys should know that.
So, Happy Christmas. And thank you, for this extraordinary gift. The gift of friendship.
Love,
Thaís Neves.
I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you:
Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good
ELPHABA
It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend:
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you:
GLINDA
Because I knew you:
BOTHI have been changed for good
ELPHABA
And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness
For the things I've done you blame me for
GLINDA
But then, I guess we know
There's blame to share
BOTH
And none of it seems to matter anymore
GLINDA ELPHABA
Like a comet pulled Like a ship blown
From orbit as it Off it's mooring
Passes a sun, like By a wind off the
A stream that meets Sea, like a seed
A boulder, half-way Dropped by a
Through the wood Bird in the wood
BOTH
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
I do believe I have been changed for the better?
GLINDA
And because I knew you:
ELPHABA
Because I knew you:
BOTH
Because I knew you:
I have been changed for good.
