Dear You, Open This Letter
Dear You,
I am sorry for the delay on writing this letter to you. Many times have I sat looking at the blank document on my computer without knowing how to start. I know what I want to write but I cannot find the appropriate way to express it. Like any other "story," I guess I have to start with the beginning, but when exactly was the beginning? I am sure that by now many people have told you that you cannot do something. Others, have doubt you, put you down, hurt you, lie to you, made you feel like nothing, made you feel hopeless, lonely, vulnerable, broken. But even if it is only one person, someone has given you love directly or indirectly. I know I am late, I know I should have written to you before you went out to the real world, before anything happened so that you could shield your heart and do not feel any type of pain. Thought, if I would have done that, you would have never learned what to "feel" is. If I would have done that, you would not have learned to appreciate the greatest feeling of all, love. Right now I know everything feels empty or even if you feel overwhelmed by feelings you are empty. Close your eyes and breathe in and out very deeply. Do not hesitate and do it. Now, as you read this letter promise me that no matter how many times your mind tells you that this is not true, or that things are not going to change, or that you have heard this millions of times, promise me that you are going to ignore those thoughts. Please, promise me.
Words, as beautiful as they can be, they can also be deathly. If said to be deathly, they are like venom in our minds and hearts eating us inside out. And why is it that the good comments we heard and tend to put aside but the bad ones stay and hurt us continuously? Maybe it is because nowadays, because of a chain reaction that has been going on for a long time, we , as a society, tend to focus on the wrong and bad part of everything. Just like the media, where is mostly problematics the top topics.But in the end, is it you, yourself, who keeps repeating over and over again the LIES that they once told you until you end up believing it. Stop. Do not fall for words. Just as they can speak and tell you terrible things, you can also speak and tell yourself that that is not true. Do not let them bring you down. And if they do, let the pain sink in and then throw it away.
I am sorry that I took so long to write this. I am sorry, because I know you are hurting but like I said this pain and hatred makes you appreciate love. Crazy, right? but how do you know what is cold, if you do not know what hot is? how do you know you are happy, if you have never experience sadness? How do you know if something is good, if you have never had something bad? How do you know what love is, if you have never experienced hate or hurt?
Stand up! I know it hurts but it will not last forever. You may have heard this million of times but it is true. Right now your mind is overwhelmed, you see everything with the darkness that is revolving in your heart, but just look inside if you start believing that it can be okay, it will be okay. It does not matter how many times people say it to you, it is YOU the one has to make the change. Words are words, unless you put weight on them. You might think you are alone or that no one has given you love, but you have seen or felt love, directly towards you or indirectly through others. As much hate as there is in the world, there is also love. It is the path that you decide to take the one that will change your view of the world. Do not involve yourself with others that only see the darkness in their lives too, because they "get" you, surround yourself with people that see light, because they save you. You are not alone, you can push any hurtful thing ever done or said to you and dispatch it from your life.
This letter, as you needed it, is a request. For you to leave the darkness of your life behind. I know you are strong. I know you can. I would not have written you this letter if I thought you couldn't.
Regards,
Your friend.
P.S There is not a established perfection in life, imperfect things are what come together in order not to make perfection but to make a whole, to truly find yourself.
