Dear Dreamer,

First let me congratulate you on making it this far. Life has thrown many curve balls at you, but you were able to catch them  as beautifully and gracefully as a person can during those circumstances. But your journey's not over. For you have something that you desperately want to accomplish and you are willing to sacrifice every fiber of your being to accomplish it. I know, because I have felt it too. That fire that burns deep within your chest when you talk about your goal. That hunger to turn that dream into a reality to the point where it becomes all that  surrounds your subconscious mind until you go mad with obsession.

I'm going to be honest, you will probably fail at one point or another a long the way. Don't let these failures be a burden to you. Let them fuel you, because in the end there is not a man or woman alive who hasn't experienced failure on their way to achieving their dream.  Always be willing to learn and when you see an opportunity to take yet another step towards your dream, take it. 

One thing you should understand is that being a dreamer comes with a price. It's a commitment, kind of like marriage. Although your dream can change or shift over time, the premise remains the same. And this is the thing that drives you to be the best you that you can be. Friends and family may also be lost in pursuit of your dream and that's alright. Those who want to see you succeed will stick by you through thick and thin. And you will realize very quickly the people who want nothing but the best for you and the people who want nothing more than to see your downfall. So always keep your eyes open towards the people you surround yourself with, and your ears closed to the outside noise. The people who constantly tell you that  "you're not good enough", or "achieving your dream is impossible." Because the moment you open your ears to such filth is the moment you take a giant leap backwards from achieving your dream. So it's time to get to work. Go make your dream into a reality. It doesn't have to be pretty in getting there, as long as you make it there at all. And if you ever have any doubts just think "while many people had given up on their dream, I am still working towards mine." And that is a very rare thing in this world.

Sincerely,                                                                                                                                                                        A Friend
