Maybe you already
have a Claire in your world lucky you!) but are wondering how you can
tell. Let me enlighten you on how to tell when you have found your
Claire.
They can be a he or
a she, it doesn't matter. What does matter is that they are your
cheerleader. A Claire will believe that you have the ability to make
money from painting on the streets of Sydney, or to write a book, or
to speak a foreign language, even if you have only ever shown a
mediocre talent in any of these areas.
Not only will a
Claire cheer you on, they will also inspire you. They are go-getters
and risk takers (and here you can be a cheerleader for them!) and
they are always looking beyond what they are doing now, for the next
exciting opportunity.
But a Claire is not
so stubborn headed that all she concentrates on is getting to the
next big thing, no no no. A Claire is also a fan of the lighter
things in life. Claire's firmly believe in doing things like dancing
in fountains, picking flowers at midnight and drinking absinth with
strangers in hostels. Because, after all this is where the real
memories come from.
The true beauty of a
Claire is that although they are indispensable, their usefulness does
not depend on proximity. After all, one of their most important
attributes is their ability to listen, to console, to conspire and to
confide in. All of which can be done over the internet in this
wonderful day and age, making it unnecessary for direct contact all
the time (although we do always wish to be close to those we love so
it would be ideal). If you have found a Claire already you know how
many hours can be spent messaging, skyping, emailing and calling
until it feels as though there is no divide between you at all.
So let's raise a glass to Claire's, here there and everywhere. Making your day a little brighter, one random essay sized text at a time.
