Just received a Facebook message from a friend of a friend who I haven't see or thought about in almost a decade. All I want to do in this life is help people learn that they are important and special and loved. Today I needed to hear that. Here it is:
"I am sobbing!!! Full on! I was near but it's full on! I was just a cool person you knew but I was having a horrible night once (bonfire night, remember that night?)...anyway you pulled me aside and basically told me how I need to find love in myself and how to love myself and fuck everything else and it has REALLY stuck with me all these years. So while I may have been a passer-byer to you.. you were sincerely a really big influence to seeing myself with some self love and helped start me to stopping to loathe myself. I know that sounds really deep, don't mean it to be, you were just a teacher to me at a very turbulent part of my life and it really helped me a lot, turned the page to my next chapter and I've never forgot you and I thank you!"
No, THANK YOU. <3
While we're waiting.
