Dear friend,
Let’s start off by saying you are beautiful. You are extremely talented, kind, smart, loving, you are just extraordinary. You are this fantastic human being who is doing amazing things and who’s life is just going to get better with age. You make me, along with many others, crack up when you laugh, smile when you smile, and cry when you’re sad. You have this huge impact on the world because you are just that awesome. Do you not see how amazing you are?
Now just because I said this and all of it is true does not mean you should go off and get a big head. Don’t ever think you are better than anyone because you are not. Don’t get too big for your britches, don’t brag, and don’t turn you back on the people that got you where you are today. Remember who you are, always and constantly, and be thankful for all the love in your life. When you inevitable have the chance to be mean, don’t take it. Don’t give into temptation. Don’t laugh or judge people. You don’t know each battle they go through daily. Remember all of the struggles that you have gone through and make sure to be sympathetic. Love always and be polite, because you of all people know that you get a lot more from honey than you do with vinegar.
So, what’s the point of this letter? Basically to pick you up when you are down. Because you know that is my job and I will be there. I will always be here for you as your friend to try and lead you in the right direction and make your life happier. No matter how old or how far, you always have me on your side. No matter if harsh words are exchanged, you know I don’t mean it. I love you no matter what and am so proud of everything you do.
My advice to you? Get ride of the toxins in your life. Stop the addictions. No, I don’t mean drugs and alcohol. I mean stop going back to that one horrible habit, stop letting it influence your life, stop letting it drag you down. At this point in the letter you are probably saying, “Oh no, here we go again,” but you know I’m right. I am the one who listens to you after all. I am the one who sees and hears all the negatives when you complain and fight. I know it all and most importantly I know you, whether you like to admit it or not. You know it’s bad for you, that you are better than that, you know you are hurting the ones you love because of it, and that it is just a phase and needs to go now. So, please, for the love of everything, GET RID OF IT.
So, again, throw out all the negativity. Be you. Only care about you if you have to for a moment. Love you. Know how awesome you are without putting that nose in the air. Because, dear friend, I want you to go so far in life. I envy you for yourself confidence and personality, but I want you to get everything you can out of life. I want you to be happy forever, not just in the moment. I want you to laugh hard, love lots, be kind, and shine bright. And I will help you accomplish that in every way I can. Because I love you lots.
Sincerely,
You know who. xo.
