Perhaps one of those places a writer can get by on the cheap and find some stories. There are some stories in this loneliness of being out here all alone, knowing so few here, none that I would consider deep enough in my heart to rely upon. A few characters that certainly aren't worthy of getting there, a few kind strangers... but, essentially alone. All those dear gone or far away. and a great friend, dear and far, writes a beautiful post that makes me cry in the beauty of it's message... not so alone. confident. courageous. fearless. happy. at home. with this. today. you made me cry.
