1: I know I had a horrible attitude when I first met you, I was all defensive and rude and just a terrible person - but I'm so thankful that you ignored that and spoke to me nonetheless. Everything you've said, shows me that you are not average - and that I highly underestimated you. I know I can't expect you to offer much in the way of practical advice, but I wish we can stay in touch in the long term. I want to have you as a friend, as I feel that your presence in my life is significant. And I still have the dream of convincing you, one day, that you have underestimated me just as much.
2: You were absolutely right, every encounter is significant. Except I definitely didn't care much for it at the time. I think I cared for very little at that time. I was far from ready. But I think I can be now. I'm not sure if I'll be able to speak to you again, not sure if you are still there now, or if you still remember me - but I'll try, just because I want to tell you this, for some reason that is beyond me. But I feel slightly (very) embarrassed for who I was when we first met. Yes,
definitely wasn't ready then.
