I know we haven't met yet, but I know you're out there. Our individual lives are full of so many amazing people that it's hard to imagine I’ll ever need anyone else or you'll ever need anyone else. The notion of meeting someone new, a friend or a lover, is improbable at this point in time, but I know that we'll meet someday because we have not even lived half of our lives yet.
I know that you are out there right now, maybe reading a book or binge watching the latest season of the show you love. The one you'll tell me all about. You'll tell me about how you cried when Derek was killed in Gray's, and how you thought you could never get over such an emotional loss.
You'll say, "Oh, come on. You can't tell me you've never seen this before?! That's insane. We are watching it all tonight." And no matter how good or how terrible I think it is, I’ll watch the whole thing with you, because I love you.
Maybe your high school life was so boring that you decided to be a completely different person when you started college. You participated in intramurals and occasionally went to parties with your best friend, who is just as fun to be around. It’s funny to think that we could have even gone to some of the same places and never looked at each other twice.
I know that you're out there, my friend, or maybe you are something more than that. You are out there wondering if this world was made for someone like you and you feel left out, but you should know that I am here waiting for you.
I am waiting to hear what you love to do, what you love to sing, what you love to watch. And although I am here to learn about all the good parts in your life, I am also here to learn about the bad.
I am here to help you cope with what has happened to you, and although I could never change what has happened in the past, I can make sure that you can live a happy life in the future, because that is what you deserve and that is what I want for you.
I do not want you to fear about the trivial things in this life, but I also do not want you to depreciate the little things that make you smile. I want you to be happy because you received a good fortune from a cookie by the spirits of the universe. I want you to smile because your favorite couple in a book got together.
I want you to be happy because you finally learned how to draw a human hand, because you have practiced long enough. I want you to look at the world in a way that you have never seen it before, because I know that I although I have been through hardship, jealousy, and all of those ugly feelings a human being can feel, I can say that it had made me realize how good this life could be; and that is something that I want for you too.
Although I want to be there for you in every single way I can only hope that you will return the favor. I hope that you too, will listen to all of the things that have kept me up until 4 am, either laughing or crying.
You'll learn that funny dog pictures are the only thing that can stop me from being in a bad mood, and that Earl Grey tea gives me headaches when I drink it. You'll learn that my favorite children's book is Peter Pan and that I have 15 different editions of it (and counting). And I will love you for listening to the things that I say and remembering what makes me the person I am.
I know that it won't be any time soon when I am able to meet you, and maybe at first I might seem like a mean person (Which you will come to learn that it was only my resting bitch face that kept me from making a lot more friends that I could have made), but I am not. I will wait for you for as long as I have to, and I can only hope that you will do the same for me.
