Dear You,
I meant to write this last week. But I just wanted you to know just how incredible I think you are. And I don’t quite know how to say it in words, without saying too much here. But I just wanted you to know that I am always here to talk to if you ever need it. You inspire me to really commit to being all that I am and all that I can be. Everyday I see you, your laughter reminds me that there is always a reason to smile. That even when everything is going wrong, there are so many ways to keep on going and make everything right. You are a powerful woman, with the capability of doing so much, and I must admit that I envy you. When you told me your story, I felt like fraud. Like I had known nothing of suffering and that for every grain of advice I’d given, I’d never really been tested. That if I had been in your shoes, I would have broken every rule that I claim I want to live by. And when I had realized that I never could have done what you had done, you said, “People always say that. But I don’t understand,” you said so simply, “you can’t just stop.” So here is to you! Here is to the people who keep on going in the darkest of times, to those people who don’t drag their feet in sorrow, but pick them up in the quest for something more. Here is to you!
Sincerely,
Me
