A Man of Incredible Presence
Message
Matthew, Suffolk Community College, Psych 101 class with Prof. Berenblatt, Autumn 2000. Riverhead campus.
You were tall, dark and intense, and I was a raving lunatic, and I sat some rows over from you and have been in awe of my impression of you for ages, or so it seems.
Maybe you were a jerk, but at the time I thought you were the 'bees' knees'. You did a report on (mine was hilarious and I was so incredibly embarrassed as you were FOR me as well.) things that I knew personally, and it opened up a world for me that a man, a strong protective person could have a compassion that I have longed for since I was a child. I respected you from that day forward. Ever since then. I never had the guts to approach you at the time. It took years to figure out the words I would have said to you. But here they are now:
Matthew,
I am impressed and that you made it through this life with your beautiful heart, I love you from distances with this. You belong to the soul I strive to do right for, and I am completely enamored of you. I hope you have built upon your strength and have carried out what you need to in order to stay the course of knowing what you know and feeling what you feel. I am amazed by you: thoroughly.
I knew I wasn't the right girl, maybe; I am not certain. I needed to grow and fix my issues and heal as a person to be right for anyone.
Yet you helped inspire the change in me. You were one living being who helped it, and there was another living being, who is in heaven, now, who did as well.
His name was Shep, and he was my dog, and he died around the same time I met you; needlessly, as my horrible mother had him killed before I got to say goodbye or spend some quality time with him.
So I understand you so deeply and personally that I have been inspired by you for years now. For years, Matthew.
And at that point in my life, with the power of your words, it snapped me into something I longed to be for myself:
My own best friend, and I got myself out of the hell I was born in and it did so much for my life to change for the better.
I continue working on this change daily and commit my life to it.
They say that we are always attracted to people who are wrong for us when we are not in the right place in our lives; well, ok: I was in school at the time. It couldn't have gotten any better than that. I hope you are well.
What you said and the example of who you were to me has forever changed me, and woke n up my conscience, and my strength, and my heart. God Bless you for this, man; your spirit inspired me to save my self from pain and to take up the cross and bring my soul to a place of salvation. I took you with me in my heart, man. If that isn't righteous, then I don't know what else is!
All the best,
A girl you do not know.
