      Alone today is still wonderful. Reflecting this to the unworthy isn't helpful. They can't understand, and since they don't, know you are whole with no one to connect with but internet strangers who feel it also.

I said, no tears friend, let us rejoice in this, and that it was not too late. I love him for his bravery, his self knowledge his beautiful genderless spirit. bless.
