To all the bloggers that have gone before

To all the bloggers that have gone before. 
Thank you. 
Thank you for putting words to your thoughts and feeling. 
That at first seem random now appear as truths to me. 
The line that makes me feels, 'ah ha I feel that too.' 
I am not alone. My thoughts occur in another individual. 
I am connected. 
I am accepted.
I am respected.

You do not see me.
You do not know me.
I am here.
Listening.
Waiting for truths to be spoken.
Courage to be summoned.
And walls to be broken.

Your truths are not empirical.
Not academic.
Not peer reviewed.
But they speak to me like arrows to my heart.

To know that one person thinks that thought.
Feels that pain.
Knows that angle.
Is enough for me.
Enough to feel understood.
