Hello Word! I greet you because you allow me explore the world…. You allow me to hear what is on the minds of my friends. You allow me to use you to comfort a friend in need…. or to have a good laugh with my friends. You also allow me to use you to write or speak.

Sometimes when I am feeling down, you make me feel good again…. I hear people telling me that they care… or even love me… They can tell me that because they know you, Words.

I care about you because of that…

But, Word my friend, there is something I have to tell you.

Sometimes when I hear you or read you.. a picture flashes inside my head. I get afraid and I feel like the world is spinning so fast that I have to lie down on the floor where I stand so I won’t fall off.

Sometimes when I hear you… an urge that I have gets stronger… A tiny little remark from a friend… or a pretty innocent computer task can take away all my self-control…

I cannot know before I hear you, Word, how it is going to make me react. Sometimes I hear you and have no problems at all other times I hear you and my existence tumbles a part… …but I am learning…

What makes it hard though is when a friend uses you, Word, and when that friend feels he or she has used you in a wrong way.
That hurts me and makes me feel so sad…

I hope we will continue to be friends after this rant of mine… but this is what I wanted to tell you, Word.
Love Gabriel
