Behind the words

It has almost become a routine to scroll down post after post on Tumblr/ Facebook/Blogger/ Twitter/ etc... seeing what people reblog or post themselves. And sometimes, it’s hard not to stop and read something someone has written and just feel like this person, somewhere out there in the world, was speaking to you. That a random stranger knew exactly how you were feeling or going through, and knew what words to say to make you feel better and wrote them down just because they knew that your eyes would eventually see them.

And don’t you sometimes want to meet these people behind the words, whoever they are. To maybe to say thanks for helping you get through something or to find the person whose words touched your soul or made you think about things you would never think about. Maybe to even see if this person is similar to the person who wrote down the words that you read.

Truth is, I have read enough on here to make me realize how many insightful, inspiring, intelligent, wise, quirky, loving, funny, relatable and good hearted people out there in this world. But behind the words, are people who walk away from their keyboards and just living life. That a stranger that we may never meet manage to touch our lives and they may never know it.
