A girl once asked me “If a tree fell in the woods and nobody was around to hear it, would it make a sound?”

Without hesitating I replied as matter of factly as I could “Because I am nobody and once I was in the woods and a tree fell and made a very loud crash which sacred the shit out of me.”
She just rolled her eyes and made and “L” with her fingers on her forehead as she turned ad walked away.

That’s how it would go. I could fall off the face of the earth and no one would miss me. I truly am nobody. Well was nobody that is until she came into my life..
