"I need you to understand something. I wrote this for you. I wrote this for you and only you. Everyone else who reads it, doesn’t get it. They may think they get it, but they don’t. This is the sign you’ve been looking for. You were meant to read these words."
I Wrote This For You: 2007 - 2017
_______
"This is it. The biggest collection of prose, photography and poetry from the I Wrote This For You project in limited edition hardcover. It's amazing."
★★★★★
"Once in a while you found a book that somehow felt that it is written personally for you. As if the author writes the book with you in his mind, and the dedication has your name written on it."
★★★★★
"Every single thing about this book was perfection. After I read the blurb and the reviews I had pretty high expectaions. It lived up to every one of them."
★★★★★

I need you to understand something.
I am trying to defeat a kind of loneliness I think we all feel. I think the entire world is desperately alone. I think we get scared when we feel alone and that makes us not trust each other.
I wrote this for you.
I write to the soul of all things in the hopes that sometimes it is listening, in the hope that sometimes, I can hear it respond.
I wrote this for you and only you.
I believe the universe is desperately trying to move you into the only spot that truly belongs to you, in the whole entire thing, a space that only you can stand in. I believe it is up to you to decide every day whether you are moving towards or away from that spot. I am trying to make you move.
Everyone else who reads it, doesn’t get it.
Some people see gentleness as weakness and sincerity as foolish.
They may think they get it, but they don’t.
Bitterness is not the answer to life. If you think that being unhappy, untrusting and closed off from the world, if you think being cynical about the way the world is and the people in it is the answer, then someone or something has hurt you and I’m sorry for the hurt that you feel. If they will not apologise for what they’ve done to you, then I will do it here on their behalf: I am sorry for what was done to you.
This is the sign you’ve been looking for.
Maybe you didn’t know you were looking but I think we’re all always looking for something, maybe this is it.
You were meant to read these words.
All I’m asking is that you trust me for a little while.
