Marco, for the record, I’ve never had a conversation with you that didn’t make my day better in some way – I should tell you more often how much you make me smile. (You do.)

Sometimes things that look useless to you now were actually super-productive for someone else in a way you just didn’t get to see, or lay the ground for future Total Awesomeness that will pop up unexpectedly later on. That’s what I tell myself, anyway.
