I am writing to you because she said you listen and understand and didn't try to sleep with that person at that party even though you could have.

I just need to know that someone out there listens and understands and doesn't try to sleep with someone even if they could have. I need to know these people exist.

If the advice is simply to respect yourself and follow the path that you want to follow, that would be the best advice I could ever pass on.

What about when someone doesn't need a shoulder? What if they need the arms?

I would give someone a record so they could love the record, not so they would always know that I gave it to them.

It's like he would take a photograph of Sam, and the photograph would be beautiful. And he would think that the reason the photograph was beautiful was because of how he took it. If I took it, I would know that the only reason it's beautiful is because of Sam. I just think it's bad when a boy looks at a girl and thinks that the way he sees the girl is better then the girl actually is. And I think it's bad when the most honest way a boy can look at a girl is through a camera. It's very hard for me to see Sam feel better about herself just because a boy sees her that way.

It's just hard to see a friend hurt this much. Especially when you can't do anything except 'be there.' I just want to make him stop hurting, but I can't. So I just follow him around whenever he wants to show me his world.
