I can tell by the way you write that you've been there. Me too but never for a friend. We also share the same opinion about clichés but (to lighten it up) let's not forget how Woody Allen commented on them on "Whatever Works" (one of my most favourites). And I can also tell by the way you write why you're out of the circle of effortlessly well paid ones - you're too good and substantial for 'em. Screw that, let's stick to the most important side of things: sorry I discovered you late but I'm obviously glad I did so. Besides, better late than never. Have a wonderful day and receive back the precious light you put in my gloom whenever you need it the most.
