Description
Have you ever sat down with a book or in front of a computer screen and read the story of a total stranger? Sitting there with friends, surrounded by a hundred or so people or just by yourself it's amazing how much you can relate to something written by someone you don't even know. Words, language, little idiosyncrasies that seem so familiar. Even metaphors and situations which remind you of the past, the present or even hopes for the future.

I like reading pieces like these. It gives me...I don't know...hope, I guess, that somewhere out in the world, another person understands. Even if they don't know my name or even care enough to realise that they've influenced so much just by expressing their personal thoughts.

Stupid little things that seem so insignificant but are actually so very important. Like sex, like love, like lust. Like friends and parents and deaths of loved ones. Self harm, drug addiction, drink problems, being completely and utterly broke. There's always someone out there who can relate; who somehow understands.

It's sort of weird, that feeling.

But it's also brilliant to know that you're not alone.
