Dearest you,
You are reading this page right now. These very words.
I have no idea who you are. Probably, you have no idea who I am as well.
You might be my father. My cousin. My friend. My teacher. A stranger. The internet works in such a fashion that the less technology savvy will never know who is reading the same words on another screen miles apart.
So I'll write to you.
'You' can be anybody. However, I'm not saying 'You' are anybody. 'You' are somebody. At least, to me you are.
Apart from a general answer, I've never told anyone the full story behind each post unless it was specially written for them. Never once did I mention exactly why I wrote what I did.
But I meant every word that I post. I meant them with all my heart and soul, even if they hurt to type those very words.
The posts that tell about heartbreak are those I feel the strongest about because those posts are about a person I feel the strongest about as well.
Those posts that speak of friendship and family are my heartfelt letters to the people around me. 'You' as well, even if I've never met you.
Today, I will make a concession for this post.
I am troubled today, and by definition, much more troubled than I usually am.
100,000 people are feared dead in Haiti. That's a hundred thousand people. Possibly millions upon billions of new found woes.
You and me, on the other hand, are sitting here reading this. I do offer my humble apologies if you are facing troubles more tulmultous.
If you have things you want to share with me, you are very welcome to write to me at notesaboutyouandme@gmail.com. Anonymously, if you want to.
In fact, I would love to receive your comments, your mail, your words.
I promise not to publish the things you tell me unless you specifically mention that I should do so. I do not promise to be able to offer you advice that will solve your worries. But I do promise to be there for you. Here for you.

There's a lot more we can do. The simplest of all these things, is to pray. Because we are not alone. You are not alone. They are not alone.
And I love you.
