A guy I know - not important who - got out of London early this summer to escape demons that were encapsulating his life. He took a flight to somewhere hot where he could try and sort himself out and come back feeling a lot better.

He told me he was going to be there for three weeks, but he still hasn't come back and it's been three months since he left.

I started getting worried in July and planned to contact his mum to ask if everything was okay but decided maybe he just thought he'd spent more time there and he was fine, just enjoying the sun, the adventures, the company.

Then it was August and I literally thought something really bad had happened to him - like, you know...death - but still thought I'd give him time. What caused me to worry to such an extent was no contact from him even after texting him.

Then earlier on, I decided I'd contact his mum and visited her blog to look for her email address, but then I realised that he had been mentioned, so naturally, I read it. I read the archives from round about the time he left so I could keep track of how he was doing.

While he is still alive, he isn't in the best of shape and it's all a bit of a mess. All I want right now is for him to come back and for everything to be okay...

I'm just really glad that he's alive, you guys have no idea... Reading his mum's blogging about what he was up to and stuff made me very concerned and at times, rather tearful, but he isn't dead!

I would rather not detail why he's in a mess and things cause it's not really anyone's business, so I won't be telling you if you ask me.

I wish I could do something to help but I can't do anything, he's somewhere in east Asia and I'm here... Things are being taken care of anyway so even if I was there, I wouldn't be of very much help, I suspect.

I care about this person a lot, more than I thought I ever would. It's because the things he's been through touched me and the result of knowing made me care, almost maternally.

He's older than me but I feel like taking care of him and doing my best to help even if it's something small like letting him know I'm here for him.

When he was in London, he'd ring me a few times to let his frustrations out or just to talk to someone, I miss that.

It sucks that I don't even know when he'll be back....IF he'll be back. Or if he'll get out of it alive.

He's been through very similar situations before and he made it back so maybe it'll all be ok?

Sorry for being so vague, I just want to respect his privacy.

I wonder what he's doing right now... please be ok. x
