Answering your question;

I... Only write.

I'm not here to dive into the minds of others.

I come by, hoping to take a look at a piece of myself after I've thrown it onto the page.

Sometimes it's possible, sometimes it's not.

But that's my main use of this website.

As well as the hope that maybe what I say might matter.

Even a little.

It's a silly little wish that I guess all of us have in varying amounts.

I wish I could take it away.

I wish I didn't care.

But I suppose I wouldn't share my attempts at vulnerability with anyone at all if truly, none of it mattered.

And I guess, even as I might not know you, stranger, remembering there really are people out there as scrambled as I am is deeply comforting and upsetting all at once.

But comforting, first and foremost.

Now comes something or other about misery and company.

The closing act, the curtain call, show's over folks.

Back to reality, clutching this tiny box source of joy and its many opposites in a messy little room.

We'll meet again anon.

Cross paths that never quite touch along the stars, choices, infinite possible futures, tinier boxes of joy and its many opposites within these ones.

Till then.
