Dear You,

Yes, you. Now granted, I’m not even sure exactly who you are, but either way, I’m writing to you. I’m guessing you clicked on this article because you were curious or maybe you clicked on it because you felt like that “you” was actually referring to you. I don’t care why you clicked on it, but I’m happy you did. You were right, this letter is indeed for you.

If you are reading this and are sad, know that at least one person is wanting you to smile again.

If you are heartbroken, take this as a sign that you are not alone and someone is feeling your exact same pain.

If you are afraid, realize you’ll never know until you try.

If you are in love, don’t push it away; let it happen and enjoy it.

If you are anxious, take a step back and breathe before attempting to push through.

If you are happy, know that it’s okay to embrace it and share that happiness with the world.

If you are losing faith, remember that God still has not, nor will He ever, leave your side.

Sometimes it seems like the world around us is moving at the speed of lightning while we are stuck standing still. In those moments it is important to realize that we are not the only ones who are unsure and lost. Being lost is part of the journey and we too often forget that.

So, to all my readers: take this as reminder to acknowledge all the places life brings you. Acknowledge all the emotions felt day to day. Acknowledge that you are not just a bystander in this world. Go out, live, and do good because more people are cheering you on than you realize.

Sincerely,

A Writer Who Needs To Realize The Same Thing
