L, thank you for reaching out. I've read your message many times and have thought so much about our time together.

In just a few days I went from curiosity about a woman who had a unique and rather lovely view of the world, to genuine care for a soul that I felt harbored the same sentiments about truth, purpose, and meaning as mine. I hoped we could build some small intimacy in whatever form it was meant to take, even if we just had a few days. And we did, the impressions you created in me will color the way I view the world for a long time.

Your past is still a mystery to me, but I know you faced many challenges with love and intimacy from those who should have shown you it the most. Offering you a space to feel safe and cared for was just as meaningful to me as it was to you. Our purpose as humans is to act genuine, but also to care, even when it's difficult. And a genuine thanks is the least you should expect in your daily life. You speak about aligning your actions with your beliefs, but I think caring for someone with grace is about accepting and expecting the full range of someone's reactions. We're all human, and I wouldn't do anything but smile and laugh at the challenges in our past without regret or shame. You see the world so clearly and deserve so much more than you've been given.

The time we spent together built something true. I was lucky to have had such a gentle soul as yours in my life, even for a short time.
