I was bored, surfing, and found this entry on Gumtree London:
“I do confess I feel so lonely ....I'm not asking for ever lasting love just a short time even to have someone hold me and not want to run away......I'm not even asking for someone to break down my walls...just enough time to make me feel a tiny bit warmer.........”
It was anonymous, not asking for anything, no details, just a note. It struck me. I read and re-read it.
Sometimes we put on a façade, a smooth surface, to cover up the turmoil within. Sometimes it’s easier to unburden on strangers than it is on friends. Sometimes I feel just like this person.
I thought about writing a response to him/her, but then I thought maybe he/she should just put on a jumper.
On the contrary, good sir. I think this one deserves a second look, or at least some help putting on that jumper.
