37M As you scroll ever downwards, the conscious brain long since checking out from a days worth of labor. A subject line catches your eye. Not someone looking to present themselves upon a pedestal for evaluation and exaltation, but instead an open invitation. A sign at the end; "What Makes You You?"

[M4R]

Tell me about yourself. Tell me what is on your heart. Tell me what's weighing you down.

Maybe I won't have anything to offer in return, maybe I'll be able to offer some past event polished and presented as advice. I don't know how that undefined conversation will go. However it will be read and it will be heard.

Tell me of your victories, especially the ones that those around you don't appreciate. Let's raise a glass together! Tell me of your favorite moments, the happy places in the haze that are must visits in a lifetime.

Tell me about the lyric that shaped you, changed you, saved you. The movie that gave you new eyes to see the world with. Or the meal that made you realize food would bring us all together. I invite you to present yourself. I will respond in the same spirit.

But even if the presence of this post is nothing more than the fleeting moments you gaze upon it. Then please let your take away be; you deserve to be seen and heard. No matter how long it takes to find those people, or how many times you get deceived along that path. You deserve being recognized and that is a journey worth walking.
