A text from a friend at 12:13 am…

"just wanted to say you are a beautiful person, not your fag looks hahaha, but you have the heart of an angel, and after thinking about our talks, I wish we had leaders like you. Soft spoken and deep hearted. My respects to you and your ideals."

It shocked me.

It came out of nowhere.

He is a pretty close friend of mine…but no one has come anywhere even remotely close to saying anything like that to or about me.

Fuck…I don’t think anyone has ever even had thoughts like that about me.

I dunno…

I think my mind really just got blown right now.

It was a completely out of nowhere text.

I was just sitting here.

…

I’m supposed to be a piece of shit, and the only things anyone has ever given me praise for EVER are that either I’m:

Smart

A talented musician

A talented visual artist

Funny

Good looking.

That’s it.

…this out of nowhere text has just kind of…like, I dunno.

I don’t fucking know.

Well, I’m glad he told you so that you can know. 🙂 I miss you, dearest.

There’s truth in that.

A co-worker of mine who left to join the marines gave me a talking to like that. About how I did’nt need drugs and that there were people out there who’d accept me, who’d love and appreciate me. I was floored..I was only ever given praise for being smarter than I looked or my sense of humor. Guess it’s nice to be told something like that now and again.

I so love your enthusiasm. =) I’ve worked out a compromise, and I can take care of both!
