Dear Trevor (Even though your name isn't really Trevor)

I first saw you on train, sleeping. My friends and I decided to try to guess your name while on the train. Eventually, we decided your name had to be Trevor. Thanks to the bravery of my good good friend, we found out your name isn't even close to Trevor. But that is ok, and here's why.

A couple of weeks after that, I got on the train with a dead phone and no book. For anyone who knows what it's like to be stuck on a train with no entertainment except looking out the window, you know how bad that is, But I looked up and saw you Trevor. Since I sort of kind of knew you (I knew your real name and creepily watched you sleep that one time with my friends) I decided  I should go over and say hello.

Never in my life have I ever expected to have such a fascinating, intelligent, and meaningful conversation with a stranger. You were honest and genuine, funny and random, and truly a stellar human being. You definitely are a rare person because no one is quite like you anymore.

Unfortunately, we never exchanged last names. So I have to either hope to run into you again on the train or hope that you somehow find this blog for me to really thank you. Not only were you very kind, what you said was something I needed to hear.

Thank you so much :)
