Another Open Letter
Dear Jensen,
You had a glow about you at SeaCon this past weekend. I keep going to the photos that fans took and shared, the videos that were recorded, it was so obvious. A lot of your fans online noted you looked happy. In one of the videos your joy was so obvious, it was infectious. Every time I watched it, I found myself smiling and chuckling with you.
Someone had shared one video and asked me a simple question: “He looks happy, doesn’t he?”
I had to reply: “Of course he did. He had Jared.”
It was the simplest of logics. You had your friend, your brother in all but blood. Something shifted between you two this past weekend, and it showed. You two simultaneously moved in sync at that single mom’s remark of “wrap it up”. The gravel story had everyone laughing. Your bond was obvious, strong, and full of affection.
You looked relaxed. Comfortable. That smile was big, your eyes shining. I hadn’t seen that light in your eyes in a long time.
Jared is good medicine for you. Your friendship with him feels more genuine than any other friendship we’ve seen you in. It’s my opinion, of course, but it’s my strongest belief. It stems from watching you, observing you. Listening to you.
Your orchestra is still rather discordant. There’s so much that makes no sense, playing out of tune. However, I hope Countdown helps put you in tune, even if only slightly. I hope continued con events with Jared will also help. Most of all, I hope there is some healing being done behind the scenes.
Find your people. Find the real ones who truly care. That is my greatest wish for you.
In eternal melody,
Raye
