Dear Mir,

I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your video set to a cover of Jon Brion’s Little Person. It was actually my first exposure to the song, and you paired it brilliantly with that montage of found footage. Every one of those clips you used gave the impression of person, someone with dreams and secrets, and loves, groping in the void for the reciprocated humanity we all crave. It was evocative of how adrift and helpless we can feel in life, and even moreso online. Some felt like unrequited cries for attention, yet others gave touching glimpses into what felt like birthday well wishes or virtual reunions with faraway family. To me, it spoke to the duality of the net and of its simultaneous emptiness and capability to enrich the human experience. That video is gone from my favorites now, but I deeply hope the girl behind it isn’t, too. Lord knows you’ve been through a lot. More than most people endure in life. More than anybody ever should. I don’t know you, and we will never meet, but what I do know is that the world would be an emptier place without you. If you never resurface online, that’s a-okay, just don’t let your next appearance be an obituary. So please, little person…
Somewhere, maybe someday
Maybe somewhere far away
You'll meet a second little person
And you'll go out and play
