Dear to whom it may concern, I wish I could write you something that was heart felt and sincere without using cheap clichés and overused simplicities.  There is not much that can be said that hasn't been said in one way or another and it's all a matter of relativity and perspective and what side of the story your standing on.  Who did what, who has what, who, who, who... why, why, why?  I wish I could say it can only get better but we all know it can always get worse... somethings just don't have a bottom, at least not on this side of life and life can't really be blamed or looked at as fair or unfair.  It is just life... good and bad things happen, fair and unfair things happen, joyful miracles and horrible disasters all happen through our journey through life.  We breath in, we breath out, our hearts beat through the day and night and life is life is life.  It can be ******* spectacular one day and then turn in a single moment to the worst **** storm of our life.  It's scary out there... in the world full of friendly faces and hateful whispers, rude glances and secret crushes, mean thoughts and hopeful prayers... and somehow on an overcrowed rock hurling through space where there are an estimated 7.5 BILLION people...  some of us get so miserably lonely and so comfortable being alone.  Misery and comfort can be dangerous if they mix, become friends.  How do we convince ourselves to stop being miserable if it becomes warm and cozy in the cold and dark corners of our minds?  No matter what we say or do life will move on, with or without us and I wish I had something better to say, I wish I could turn myself into a unicorn that pooped rainbow flavored ice cream and had laser eyebeams that we could use to extract revenge on those who disappointed you or broke your heart and to heal the thoughts plaguing your mind and diseases destroying your body. I wish we could fly up to the moon and shatter the sun and play hide and go seek on the moons of Saturn and have go-cart races on its rings and wouldn't that all be nice and I would if I could but its all just jibber jabber so I don't have to say I care by saying I love you and I do but that isn't going to shield any of us from bumps in the road or sick days or diseases or heartache or suffering from this or that from time to time.  But it can help, knowing you're not alone, knowing that its there when you need it, when you're ready for it.  It won't always help a lot but sometimes it can be the thing that turns it all around.  If you need to be miserable for awhile thats ok, be miserable as long as you need.  Need someone to climb down and be miserable with you... that sounds horrible, move over I'm coming down.  I'd rather be with someone who is honestly miserable than someone pretending to be happy.  I mean if you want to pretend, I can dress up like a unicorn and get us a golf bag full of baseball bats and we can go out and **** **** up.  Take a trip out to bat country and go bat ******* crazy.  Or we can just sit in the dark and I can shut up and we can just listen to the silence of it all...

And if we're truely quiet maybe we'll hear it, maybe we'll hear the  humming in the air, that single vibration that weaves a thread through us and connects us all and we'll hear the song of love flowing through the universe.  And I won't have to tell you I love you,  no one will, because you'll feel it all around you.  And you'll know I'm glad you're here and I hope you'll stay to the end, no matter how bad it gets.  I'll stay, I can promise that, no matter how bad things get... that much I can say
