Hey stranger,

How has your day been? no, seriously, how was it? i know life can be rough sometimes, but other times it can be absolutely wonderful. which one was it for you? horrible or perfect? maybe it was a happy medium, some ups and downs, but nothing that affected your entire day or wasn't combatted by the emotions of another event? nonetheless, it had to be one of them. what made it like that? what happened that really got you down in the dumps? what happened that had you giddy all day? what made it an alright day? now, maybe you're still thinking as you read and if not you've  got something in mind or maybe you can't think of just what made you feel good, or bad, or just ok. maybe instead of an event, it was a person, or maybe an animal. perhaps more specifically family, friends, a stranger — like myself (unless we've talked before) — or perhaps someone you dislike. An enemy, rival, foe even. what'd they do? how'd that event, or person, or absolutely anything else make you feel? however it made you feel, that's ok. maybe you don't know how you feel specifically, maybe you just know that it either ruined your day, did nothing, or made it perfect. that's ok too. It's always ok to feel. no matter the emotion. every emotion is ok to feel. sometimes people feel like they shouldn't feel things, could that be you? It's ok to be happy, even if you feel you don't deserve it or shouldn't. It's ok to feel sad or dissapointed, even if you think it's selfish or wrong to. you deserve to feel your emotions. in all seriousness, that's the best way to go about it. you let yourself feel them, it's healthy. it helps. talk — or think — to me stranger, whatever's on your mind, good or bad, whatever's got a grip on your heart, whatever's doing something to you, tell me. i won't judge you. pour out your heart. this message, this writer, I, am here to listen. talk away stranger, you matter.

Love,

a person who cares, a person who knows how it is to be lonely, and a person who had to learn to feel.
