I am glad your friend sent you that mail. I am glad you were made to realize that what you write speaks to someone.
What I like I about you is that you are versed in so many things and you write on so many different things and I can relate with all of them (well except for the music bit. Classical and Jazz for me all the way) so trust me when I say your words do mean something to me.
Then again you know this, I follow you everywhere. I am like an online stalker for quality stuff. So whatever it is that has gotten to you and made you feel all kinds of ways, reach out and speak to someone.
For all the times you’ve listened, someone will listen to you. if you would prefer not to speak, you can always write.
Written words have a very powerful way of expressing what spoken words many never be able to accomplish.
