Just listen

Sooooo... I just had something weird happen. Someone sent me an email titled "just listen". I don't know who it is, because the name was just ". ." instead of a first and last name. The top photo is the email that was sent, and the bottom one is the video I was sent to. And these are the lyrics to it:

"Stand In The Rain"

She never slows down.
She doesn't know why but she knows that when she's all alone, feels like its all coming down
She won't turn around
The shadows are long and she fears if she cries that first tear, the tears will not stop raining down

[CHORUS]
So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day, whats lost can be found
You stand in the rain

She won't make a sound
Alone in this fight with herself and the fears whispering if she stands she'll fall down
She wants to be found
The only way out is through everything she's running from wants to give up and lie down.

[CHORUS]
So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day, whats lost can be found
You stand in the rain

So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
Stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day, whats lost can be found

[CHORUS]
So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day, whats lost can be found
You stand in the rain

And honestly? It rings true. Every word. I am the one that stands strong when everyone else is falling apart. I am the one that gets everyone to tell me what's wrong with them and I try to fix it, because I don't want anyone else hurting. I don't care if I hurt—I don't want anyone else to. And I don't cry much, because I'm afraid that I'll continue breaking down and I'm afraid I won't ever, ever stop.

If anyone else gets an email like this, let me know. If not... do you think it could maybe be Neon? Y'know... screw it, I'll call him by his actual name. Do you think it's Aedan? My best friend? The one who showed me "Welcome to My Life" by Simple Plan and listened to me explain why I couldn't listen to the whole thing without fear of breaking down. Do you think this is his way of saying "I get it"?

I don't know. What are you guys' thoughts on this?

xoxo,
