Bonne Âme

Hello Feel Gooders!!

Sorry for the late distro, I had some concerned feel gooders checkin in on their happy. Today’s gonna be a quick, personal, fluffy puffy shout out style to a real solid individual. Since most of you don’t know her, I’ll tie it in some way with some absurd and gooey moral of the story bit.

I’m not going to out this person in the TFFG here, she can do that to herself if she wants, not even gonna tell her I’m doing it; she’ll figure it out on own. Tomorrow is her Birthday, so it’s fun to give her some mad props and a little trumpeting ego boosting. 

To protect the identity of the innocent, let’s just call her “Bonne Âme.” Bonne Âme and I were friends way back in the day, throwback style all up in high school and everything… given that I’m basically the oldest man on earth now this makes that a long time ago and a worthy length of time in frienship. Bonne Âme and I never were romantic per se, but I’m fairly certain we’ve both considered it. Bonne Âme Is a truly special person, and I’ll tell you why. 

For starters she’s done and accepted challenges in her life that I would never be able to take on, that I would have run in fear of disregarding my integrity as I tossed the option out a moving train, for this she’s admirable. 

Bonne Âme is so incredibly clever and witty, I don’t hand this compliment to many, if any; The reason for this being that I too am incredibly clever and witty (Yes, and pompous) so having a companion in the game of hilarious quip that most don’t get, priceless, for this she’s invaluable.

Bonne Âme is incredibly thoughtful. This is something I struggle with, and hold her ability to be so in the highest regard. Remembering my birthday (Without facebook, ya goddam cheaters!) and sending me gifts without solicitation or apparent need. For this she is gracious.

But most importantly, despite the fact we’ve hardly spent that much time together; she’s taken the time to see me for who I really am, she sees my heart and my good nature.  She’s shared with me my own frustrations when I alone thought I was yet again the only one who understands my truth and intention. Genuine beyond description, beautiful in her care for me and all things, for this she is Une âme très belle et aimante, A very beautiful and loving soul.

To bring it around, here is to Bonne Âme,! and to YOUR  Bonne Âme, and all that they do for you. 

Another take, maybe there is someone in your life, who you see as they are… have you told them? Empathized with them? Called them out for the amazing person they are or maybe even help YOU to be? Maybe you’re not best friends, or close friends; however, you may be really important to them and you just don’t know it yet. Our hearts and minds seek validation in life, we want to be heard and understood, yes?

Maybe your challenge today is to reach out to someone and just let them know, I get it, and I see you.

Love you Bonne Âme!! Happy birthday!

MWAH!!!
