Dear Murtaza:

“I know you don’t wanna share your personal life”. Sharing about personal life is not only in sharing of details such as age, place, number of people per household and so on. I will give you an example of a very personal sharing that is of much greater value than the factual details:

You wrote, “seeing me as a baby didn’t hurt much.. it kinda did hurt me, especially coming from you”- my heart melted a bit when I read this, because you wrote “especially coming from you”- it made me feel special that you care what I personally think, that you think of me as special in this way. It is a hunger to feel special, to feel valued for being me.

And it made me want to make you feel special too, wanting to tell you that I did not think of you as a baby.. and I didn’t when I submitted the first post to you today: appreciating your adult individuality, your admirable motivation to create your own values, your truth seeking.
