Some of us are more lonely that others, and those of us that are occasionally try to reach out the others of like mind.
I know that I reach out to other's because I have nobody else to talk to in my area about what I think. Even though I am in a city, surrounded by people, some of whom are family and friends, it is rare that I can talk to someone who has similar ideas to my own.
I think @Suplex was lonely for a similar reason, although he lived in the exact opposite of a city.
But a lot of us are alone, and tormented by that fact. When you see another person in the exact same situation, you feel for them.
He spoke highly of you. He tried to get me to call him and talk to him also, but I never did. But he spoke the world of you, and said he spoke with you often.
The funny thing is a place like this, it's hard to make a connection due to the anonymous nature. But when you can, the connections are far stronger than you'd make in other avenues.
Damn Froggy.
That hits me hard, I thought he thought I was a dickhead.
And I didn't know you talked to him, but I am happy that you did.
He was a good guy, but fucking kind of an asshole too.
Hard to come to guys with that guy...
We're all assholes, Theo. It's what makes us strong. We all have our struggles. Our addictions. Our shortcomings. It makes us hard. Untrusting. It's what makes having close friends difficult. Equal parts opening up, and equally the knowledge that one day they will be gone.
Don't dwell on the bad. Remember the good.
And for what it's worth, I'll talk to you if you want.
You. Are. Not. Alone. None of us are. We are separated by location, nothing more.
