A random person just sent me an incredibly kind message. It was on a dating website, so this person only knows what I have posted about myself. Which, is fairly vague. She said, While I know that this is a dating site, I dont believe in closing myself off to oppertunities to affirm people who are amazing. Im in a relationsip with someone who lets me care for whom I may, but Im not trying to find a partner. Honestly, Im not sure what Im looking for. Hope? Friends? Inspiration to keep going? Maybe a combination of those things... So.. I come across this page, a man close to my age who has obviously been through a lot but has done SO MUCH in the world for so many people. I am incredibly astounded at the way you seem to shine. It warms my heart. Ive had a rough go of things, and I do my best to hang in here, but reading your profile and seeing your pictures makes me hopeful that life can be bright and fill of liveliness one day. I peer into the world from a dark corner, a sense of closed-off wonder twinkling in me eyes, but I do not venture.. Ive been very sick. I put on a mask and go to my dead end job day after day, though lately Ive had to take medical leave every few days.. but you made me raise my head. I am here, one day at a time, one breath at a time, fighting invisible illnesses with all that I have. Some days thats more than others... but you are a breath of fresh air. I know its just a profile, and Im just a stranger, but I wanted to let you know that you somehow give me hope that my life can become better. You are an image of tenacity and liveliness, one that I will not soon forget, and I very much admire that. Back to my hiding place.. I hope my note finds you well. What this random stranger didnt realize is that today, for a moment I questioned myself. I questioned if I am truly a good person. I needed that message. So, to that random stranger (who I have already thanked in a reply message) Thank YOU. I needed those words. You sent them at the perfect moment.
