Not really sure how to start this and to be honest wish I never had to but it seems like you still succeed to persuade me into things after all you’ve always been good at convincing people so here I am. You are even making me tell you things I would’ve never told you so I am going to ignore you laughing at me and hope you hang on tight cause you might cringe out a little, but just a little I promise.
Dear Finn, to the purest, most creative and glowing soul, you truly spark up the life of those who were lucky enough to share time with you.
You know, I would have never imagined I would share such a special bond with someone, it is not the kind where we have the same hobby, or where we grow up in each other’s presence or where talk is essential to have a good time. It is the kind where silence becomes warm and soothing, laughs inevitable and you shift from just someone, to a friend, to family.
Sometimes I wonder how you do it, how it is possible that I cannot think of a single, not one single bad thing you’ve done or about you, how?! Speaking of, we met your friends from university a couple months ago, great people by the way. And I thought to myself how crazy is it that we’ve just met these guys yet we all got along so well like we had known each other for years. You attract good, reunite good people together and bring out the good in every single one of them. Thank you.
One thing I will say though, I am still not over that omelette sandwich you got out of a vending machine on our way home from the club, that morning in Madrid. And may I add I still do not know which part is worst, the fact that you got it thinking it was tuna paste or that it ended up being a green, mushy looking egg sandwich. And yes I will continue to judge you for that.
You have left such a filled blank in our lives Finny. If I am honest I still think this prank is super lame and you can stop it now, I am bored of it, come back.
You know, I still hear your contagious witchy sounding laugh that always lit up a room, a boat, a ski lift, and peoples faces. I have always been inspired by your spontaneity and one life no regrets lifestyle which you truly have not lied to live by. And when in doubt I find myself asking, what would Finn do here, what would he think, how would he act. I want to live as fiercely and successfully as you Finn! As you once wrote « I dont wanna look back when im 80 and think why didn’t I do anything? » this is the motto you have inspired us all to follow and will continue to do every day thinking of you.
Continue to shine bright for us every night, I love to stare at your beautiful smile among the stars.
Love you Finn
