Post secret set up a project these past few days so that you could leave your number on the bulletin and text your secrets to a stranger.
I began the night in my normal fashion, completely revolving around myself and my issues with Tampa and Erik Massie, and whatever else. Although even while sending out my texts I almost felt like an impostor. Like my secrets weren't real, and I was taking up time and space for other peopls secrets. And besides, what the hell do I know about anything? I was just having fun and trying this new idea out. It was a nice idea. All these people were writing about how the exprience changed their lives, and I found myself jealous. Me, of all people, who is in need of somethign life changing! Why aren't I getting any of these great secrets!?
Well, an hour ago, I got my wish. Or rather, made it happen. Id noticed a name popping up frequently along with some others, reaching out to listen. I then noticed that same name come up, heartbroken that no one had answered her texts, and she felt more alone than ever. Not that my secrets in ANY way compare, but I remember how let down I was when no one answered a particular one of mine, and how personal I took it. I tracked her number back a few pages and texted her myself.
We talked for not long, maybe ten minutes? And tonight she told me I saved her life. I have since been near speechless and dumbfounded. I don't even know what I did, but she credited her entire life to me. Who the hell am I?? Suddenly I see how selfish I was being.. I have been for a while now. Immediatly I dropped my phone down and prayed, thanking God for this exprience, for allowing me to be there for this woman, this mother, and to watch over her. I have this strange attachment to her, a real love, where I worry for her safety later on. I hope to God she finds peace soon.
Tonight changed me forever.
too stunned to even cry ::
"you saved a life. I know nothing about you, yet, tonight you saved my life...Tonight I just wanted someone, anyone to listen. You did that. Thank you... I will do my best. your efforts will not be in vein. I promise. I owe you my life and I will forever be in your debt. All because youre a genuine person. Thank you, for everything"
