In fact, EVERYONE seems to like you and the things you do. Your presence lights up the room, and when you're around things become funnier, more interesting and full of potential. But does that just mean I want us to be best buds? Or...a different kind of buds? I'm pretty sure you're not interested in me beyond friend-hood, but occasionally you give me cause to wonder otherwise. You're generally touchy and snuggly (with everyone), but when you touch ME I get dizzy. Good dizzy. It's confusing, friend. (But also nice!) I want us to continue to have adventures and silly times and to change the world, but my stupid heart is of two minds. And because we're involved in some of the same things, I fear doing anything that could make all that stuff less comfortable. But it doesn't have to be a THING, y'know? I am happy to be (just) your pal, but I need to know if you meant anything by kissing my hand and sustaining all those hugs for longer than anticipated. I can get over it and never mention any of this again, but you've gotta tell it to me straight. —Enthusiastic One

After an annoying RBC ATM at the Student Union Building on Dal campus ate my bank card and did not give me the money from my account, a lovely African-Canadian bus driver lent me his cell phone on Wednesday, May 6 so that I could contact RBC. He even offered to lend me money. Thank you so much for your trust, generosity and kindness. A true gentleman. —Grateful

You know when I tell you and everyone else that I love you like a brother? I'm lying.

I'm pretty sure you are, too. —Chemistry, Not Biology

I don't know how I lucked into meeting you. Despite the world of differences between us, you've become a rock to me, and I to you. You didn't run after my drunk rant about my personal bullshit. It made you feel safe to (also drunkenly) tell me about yours. I am so goddamn lucky to have you in my life. I promise to tell you more often, starting with this. —Your Exception

I'm sorry I wasn't the perfect daughter. I'm sorry there were times I wish you were different, but you were perfect, just the way you were, for me. I do love you. I really do. —Mary

To whomever turned in the $20 bill that I left in the cash dispenser at the Joe Howe Superstore: you are the BEST. I couldn't afford to lose 20 bucks this week. While walking back to the store from the bus stop, I thought for sure it was already in someone's wallet. I'm so grateful to have had such a decent person standing behind me in the self-checkout line. Thank you. —Half-Asleep & In A Hurry

I might ask you to come for a run with me sometime soon, but I'd actually rather ask you if I could buy you a drink. —M

Thank you so much to the couple who found my phone on the waterfront and were nice enough to turn it in to the guest information! My life is in that phone, you are wonderful people :) —Faith restored

Breaking up with you was the hardest thing I've ever done, but resisting your one or two attempts to reconcile was pretty sucky too. Once I realized that you'd never be able to love me like I loved you, there was no turning back. It's pretty weird to know that you're happy with someone else, but I am glad that you are. I hope you treat her well and that you give her more than she asks for—you weren't really very good at that before, but I like to imagine that you have grown. —From M

After moving to Halifax in September, I was looking for a place to fit it and to share my passion for music. I was welcomed immediately into the Halifax Music Co-op's family! The Halifax Music Co-op is this fantastic program that makes music accessible to anyone, regardless of skill or financial situation. I've met some of the most incredible individuals through the Halifax Music Co-op! There is something really special about creating music together. I'd encourage anyone who has ever wanted to play an instrument or sing to check these guys out. Orchestra, wind ensemble, jazz band, choir! The passion is infectious and the mission is inspiring! —Sing for your Life
