Car mirrors. I have an interesting and unique affection for them. It all began when I first learned to drive. For some reason i couldn't quite grasp exactly which lane the fast approaching car was actually in. I used to kind of guess and hope for the best. Fists clenched and heart racing, I'd change lanes - and breath a sigh of relief.
Eventually, after about a year of driving, i finally got it straight. I remember the excitement of being able to know exactly where and how far away all the cars around me were just by glancing at my three mirrors. I still love to passionately explain to new drivers all the tricks i invented to help them master their car-mirror skills.
Tonight only further cemented my deep historical relationship with said mirrors as in them i caught my first glimpse of a man I've come to know quite well. Skepticism and openmindedness aside, i appreciate you for that and for that alone.
humbly,

Sometimes I wonder what would have been,
what would have been if such a young kid didn’t get an unfiltered device at such a young age,
what would have been if he hadn’t discovered all there is to see online,
what would have been had someone reached out to this kid drowning in pain and confusion,
what would have been if someone took the weight of his world off his shoulders,
what would have been if he felt loved and accepted despite it all,
what would have been…….
who knows, but one things for sure he wouldn’t have the friend he has in you now.
Warmly,
