Sometimes, I'm supposed to write to millions of people.
But I still pretend I'm writing to just one person.
I pretend I’m writing to you.
Because when I picture you in my mind, I start to see things that I can't see when I picture a million strangers.
I see your personality.
Your problems.
Your presence.
I see the things you love.
The things you hate.
I see what makes you, you.
And as I start to write, I can see your face start to change.
Scoffing.
Laughing.
Questioning.
I hear you say, "How the hell did he know that?"
And, "Alright, this is getting weird."
But it’s not just weird.
It’s borderline schizophrenic.
And it’s how I get a sense of what to write, how to write it, and why I'm writing to millions of people.
Because at the end of the day, you and me aren’t that different from everybody else.
We’re all just a bunch of brains trying to figure out why.
So, yeah.
Write to one person.
And you will speak to millions.
