Re: Mulder/Scully
Please dedicate your book to me. Something along the lines of being your muse, your stars in the sky, your inspiration for all the probing. The secondary dedication can go to the creepy alien postal worker. The third can be to whatever law dictates opening other people's mail is a federal crime and no information gathered illegally can be used against you. Is that two laws? It might be.
Does it ever bother you to not have someone to discuss those heavy matters with? It does me, that is why I ask. Are you more introspective reflection when dealing with your problems? Can I ask if you really think you do not know me just because you do not have my real name? I have been more honest with you than I am with most. Well, I am a terrible liar so I am generally honest with everyone, but I have been much less guarded with my words with you than usual.
Maybe it is not actually how science, space, or emotions work, but I am willing to believe if you are. It is important to take that first step, no matter what path it puts you on. Nothing really substantial is ever given to us, we have to work for it. Happiness is no different. And whatever happiness is to us changes by the day just as we do. Take whatever wonders life offers. What is something you want to do that is just for you? Something you have not done before.
If happiness can be a comet in the universe of your life, why not true love? I want to believe it is out there for everyone. Even for lonely space tortoises. Sometimes life gets in the way, though, and we miss it or we never find it. I am not entirely sure which of our viewpoints is more tragic; not having the possibility of true love at all, or having it out there but missing the opportunity to find it.
Please know that I put more thought into that question than I should have. No, I would not change it. I know that sounds terrible. I am not certain if our anonymous discourse lends to such intimate details for explanation. He had hurt people before, he tried to hurt me, and he would have gone on to hurt others. If anything were to change with what I know today it is that the people taking care of me knew him and should have dealt with him like responsible adults instead of sending me to him.

You are just going to have faith in what I tell you, Mulder. It is easy to overlook the good when all the bad gets our attention.
