“Dear Anyone: This is a letter from one anyone to another anyone, no names required, because nobody really knows anyway. Names don`t make a hell of a lot of difference. The world is made up entirely of strangers. Millions and millions of them. Everyone is a stranger to everyone else. Sometimes we think we know other people, especially those we supposedly are close to, but if we really knew them, why are we so often surprised by the shit they do? Like, parents are always surprised by what their kids will do. They raise them from the time they are babies, spend each and every day with them, think they`re these goddamn fucking angels, and then one day the cops come to the door and say hey, guess what parents? Your kid just bashed some other kid`s head in with a baseball bat. Or you`re the kid, and you think things are pretty fucking OK, and then one day this guy who`s supposed to be your dad says so long, have a nice life. And you think, what the fuck is this? So years later, your mom ends up living with another guy, and he seems OK, but you think, when`s it coming? That`s what life is. Life is always asking yourself, when`s it coming? Because if it hasn`t come for a long time, you know you`re fucking due. All the best, Anyone.”

“Sometimes, it`s easier to tell a stranger something very personal. It`s like there`s less risk, opening yourself up to someone who doesn`t know you.”

“She cried herself to sleep, and I held her until she stopped. I rolled over and pushed my face into the pillow. I figured if I could muffle my own crying, I would not wake her.”
