I had a hard time comprehending my situation in life, including the people I cared about the most. But as long as I loved them and they loved me, I had something to live for. Though I felt pain on the inside, perhaps I had been tough and strong, in my own way. I was better at hiding, and fortunatly, coping with and overcoming, my sorrows and burdens than Casimir was. However, I believe that this was because he had much more pain than I did, and I felt thoroughly sorry for him. My love for him had grown to a ginormous size, just as the “elephant in the room” had. But this time, I welcomed the emotions. I loved Casimir, as scrawny and broken as he was. In spite of the lanscape fate had painted, I knew that Casimir was a miracle to me. He made me feel special, and I slowly came to realize that he was more than an isolated person in a desperate state. He was a real boy, and even if he hadn’t been sheltered, he still would’ve been able to truly see me. That was an immense beauty of our flourishing friendship.
