I don't know your name but this is for you.

I'm willing to see you. You don't have to be a certain way. You don't have to be like me. I will like you as you are.

I won't stand by and listen to someone trash talk you-- even if that someone is you. I don't know your story or what makes your voice quiet and honest but I know I'll listen closely to you if you decide to tell me. I know it will matter when you say the words, only you can say, to allow entrance to know you. I know that I will care and that it's important for you to say it.

I know that you matter.

-- Tonight and in the days to follow I hope each one of you on my friends list feels this from someone. That's the space I'm holding for all of you.
