Something Benny Said

Needed to save this. Somebody put how I'm feeling at the moment far better than I ever could have.

My dear Jason,
You are a creature of ridiculous, yet beautiful, contradictions. The vast and various energies bouncing around inside of you - which sometimes seem to me to be almost too much for your body to handle, bursting at the seams with them - are often diametrically opposed: severe melancholy, but boundless joy; an affected arrogance battling with a vital desire to love and be loved, to care and be cared for; a modesty that verges on self-destructive next to a confidence in your considerable abilities that makes you near dangerous (in the best of ways, of course). Creative and destructive forces, engaged in the constant battle which shapes your fluid, dynamic, engaging and arresting personality and gives you such a strong presence and charisma that it's hard to look away, literally and figuratively...
But perhaps what I love most, is that when all these forces become too much, when you become overwhelmed, you give in to that vulnerability, revel in it, and then with determination, you pick yourself up and start again, rebuilding from scratch until you are once more a force to be reckoned with. It's an inspiring way to live and be, all that I've listed here, and I love it all.
