I care too much
So I think I'm a crazy person for putting this out there BUT ... There is a person I care for very dearly on the internet. I don't know this person, never met them in real life I just kinda saw what they did and I said "I like that". Now they are saying that they are thinking of doing self harm. I want to stop them but I feel like I have no influence on them. This hurts because I know I can't just go up to them in person and say "I care for your health and well being" and give them a big o' hug. All I can do is (what I think) is pester them about how much I love what they do and how their work brings a smile to my face, and that I could never be at that level of expertise, that they mean something to at least someone and that someone is a person on the internet, who they don't have any real personal connections with.... But I feel like they need to know this. and I need to somehow in grain this into their brain that someone cares, at least one. And that if I don't do that then I am going to fail my job as a human being, because no matter how rude we are.... we need each other and without other people we can't do what makes us great. Naturally we humans think of things as negative, but if we have an emphasis on the positive we bring in each others lives we can make each other great. I'm just rambling now but I feel that I am failing this poor person because I don't have any "personal" connections. They are just a person on the internet why do I care? Because inside that person is a heart, and it's beating, and a face that is (hopefully) smiling. Because they know someone, noticed them, that someone cares. And thats all we ever want. Is for someone to care.
