I was afraid of asking questions that would make you feel uncomfortable, but I'm beginning to understand how you see yourself in your past and with what confidence you navigate your present and future life. I'm quite surprised by what you've written, because there's so much more to you than I imagined.

You are the kind of person I'd want to give everything to. All my life I've lived for myself. I've been bold and brilliant, explored across the world, loved deeply, taken risks and pursued an original life, but it's always been for me, to be entirely honest. Knowing more of your story and your passion, seeing the same drive for a deeper understanding of truth and the development of the human condition, turns my entire being in your direction. I feel a kind of religious reverence for what drives you, because it's higher than any calling than anything else we can pursue. I've often taken detours off this path to pursue financial stability, to study the very real and urgent needs of the future of the developing world, but we must have some guiding light to drive us and yours is one that underpins what makes us truly human.

From your history, I see the development of such a sensitive and perceptive soul. I'm glad you have escaped such an unhealthy relationship. It may be banal and obvious, but you, as all people do, deserve so much better. I have so much respect for the courage and it must take to leave and raise a child on your own.

From this I am a little afraid though. How can we feel so close, with not only a distance barrier but language too! We have a lot of work cut out for ourselves, and I believe life is shorter than we imagine. However, if there is one thing I'm best in life, it's making long terms plans and executing them.

Our relationship is as if out of a novel - "That little girl, brimming over with mysterious forces."
