Dear Jim...I know we only know each other through the lens of the internet, but I do consider you a friendly voice in a not-so-friendly world. So thank you.
I do count myself very lucky to have a handful of close friends who have stuck with me through more bs than they deserve.
As an only child, I didn't really grow up knowing how to be a friend. Friendly, yes. Friend, not so much. So...please don't think it comes naturally to everyone.
I'm willing to bet more people consider you a friend than you'll ever imagine. I'm sure you do much more than "just" help others make their worlds go round. (For those of us who have zero mechanical abilities, a friendly helper who doesn't make me feel dumb for not knowing is always a friend in my book. And I do my best not abuse those relationships and make them as balanced as possible.)
From everything I know about you, Jim, you are a kind, gentle man with many tales and talents. Please use some of that kindness on yourself and be open to letting others be your friend and help you in return...by loving you.
Vulnerability is a mfer, but it's worth it in my book. I vanished from the world for several years and am truly fortunate people like Drew waited for me to emerge (after I pushed him oh so far away).
I will say that not everyone's meant to be a forever friend (much less lover). Some are made for a reason or a season--but I cherish all who've been around "for good."
