Since I have known you, you seem to have become so much more comfortable with yourself. (Yes, seems to be a trend in the comments here, but I found myself on the other side of the fence from the others...)

It was like seeing you under old layers of Self/Being when we first met years ago, and the old layers seemed uncomfortable and ill-fitting, but the newer you, the present-day you would shine and sparkle through the rips and holes in the old self. Especially when you would dance, this new and more real-seeming you would shine through strongly. You seemed so insecure about this newer you, about letting go of the old and the familiar, and yet the old layers seemed to chafe at you strongly at the same time.

I could see that I did the same thing and could hear the voices in my life telling me to let go of the old and step out into the new with trust and faith that what felt good from the inside out *was* good. It always seemed difficult to me - I couldn't figure out how to just let go of the weight... until I met you, and watched you, and was inspired by the you that was shining through the old you.... and I could see how easily you could just shrug off what was outdated like an old coat...and walk away... if you wanted to.

These days, those old layers I thought I saw seem mostly gone and when you dance, it is a solid glow that emanates from you. There is a strength in you that used to seem held in from the outside inward... and now glows from the inside outward. Maybe in the piles of stuff left behind from your old apartment, there are old layers of self like old coats... left behind and not missed.

You seem much lighter. More at peace with yourself and your world, and less encumbered by the nonsense of the worlds around you.

You continue to inspire me each time I see you.

(And did I mention you're damn sexy?)(and more so all the time!!!)

Hmm... what side of the fence could that be?

What's even more gratifiying than other people seeing me grow, is seeing myself grow. Believing in myself the way that others believed in me. Internalizing it. Making it mine.

I am humbled and honored to be an inspiration to you.

*hugs*

you didn't mention the sexiness, but I thank you for saying so. I would also have to agree with you. ;)
