Sometimes people say sad things and those sad things float my direction and nestle into my mind, where I think on them for some time.
And while those words float around in my brain, I think about what type of pain could’ve caused those words to be spoken, and I think about what type of words and actions could soothe the one who spoke them.
Eventually, sometimes a few hours later, sometimes a few years later, I figure out what I would say to comfort the person who spoke those sad things, and I write it down.
That’s how a few of these letters came to be. They were the responses I thought up to something sad someone around me said which deeply affected me. This letter is no different, and I’m glad it’s something I’ve finally been able to write down because it’s been floating around in my mind for years.
You are not a mistake for being just the way you are… and it’s good that you’re here.
