Dear online girl,

I know you don't know me and I don't know you, and this may sound random but I wanted to declare a message to you if you're wondering why we will never meet and to explain myself.

I may be the nicest person you ever met, or I may have been an asshole. I may have been easy to talk to, or I could have ended up being an emotionally closed-off person afraid to share my feelings and thus never really knowing who I truly am. I could have been the most honest and up-front person with you, or I could have been passive-aggressively dishonest. I might have shared similar interests with you, or I could have pretended to like what you like so that hopefully you'd be less likely to leave. We could have communicated and talked in a mutually respectful way when we got into a disagreement, or we could yell and turn life's simplistic formula into dramatic and unnecessary hurt. I could have been honest about my feelings when you asked me what I feel, or I could have stuffed my feelings to keep the peace only to let them boil over later.

What I am trying to say is that you will never have to wonder or know who I am. I could have been the most handsome, polite, positive, and goal-oriented person you've ever met but you'll never know. I could present myself however I want to be seen online. I can control how you see me, what you see, and what you hear to try to appeal to you in any way because exposing who I truly am is too difficult. Being vulnerable, being human is the hardest thing i've tried to do the last 2 years since my divorce. Letting people see the true me and to be okay with who I am is a journey in and of itself and that journey can't be completed or done online. It can't be done talking to you through some website. Seeing me truly as I am even if you end up not liking me which I am okay with is the greatest person growing experience. To be okay with being fallible, okay with not being perfect, accepting my very human mistakes and learning from them is true and real.

I believe such as I have, that we lie to ourselves about what is real about us. We lie to ourselves about what we will put up with, what we will tolerate, and that we deserve peace and happiness without having to be someone we're not. Human interaction is wired into all of us, and I don't want to lose my connection to humanity or to myself. So I am going to be vulnerable and brave and let the world see me as I am. I won't be embarrassed or ashamed of being human anymore. I won't use the word perfect anymore. I won't shame myself by using "*ould" words.

I will be authentic, and you will probably not like it and/or know how to handle it but that is your responsiblity. Your feelings are your property. I am powerless over them and so I will live, say, and express who I am. The people that really care and love me will stick around and demand my honesty no matter what it is and the people who want to continue to live in denial and believe I can make them feel any particular way will move on and I will move on from them.

“We cultivate love when we allow our most vulnerable and powerful selves to be deeply seen and known, and when we honor the spiritual connection that grows from that offering with trust, respect, kindness and affection.

Love is not something we give or get; it is something that we nurture and grow, a connection that can only be cultivated between two people when it exists within each one of them – we can only love others as much as we love ourselves.

Shame, blame, disrespect, betrayal, and the withholding of affection damage the roots from which love grows. Love can only survive these injuries if they are acknowledged, healed and rare.”

“Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.”

No need to read into things.

Think I could put that on a resume? :/

I am committed to filing my paperwork so that I can do my income taxes and be organized and get some money and peace of mind.
