A letter to a friend....

Sometimes I wonder if people are actually reading what I am putting out here. Then I wonder what people think after reading my crazy rants. Then I think to myself, why does it matter whether people read what I write. At least then, I can write what I want, how I want it, any way I want. I write to release my pent up emotions that are just too difficult to explain with spoken words. I write to voice up crazy petty frustrations that you can't express when at the 'scene' because it wouldn't be too sane to do so. I write to remind me of the blessings and joys I have in life, and the happy moments that I stumble upon. I write to reflect on myself, my relationships, my successes and failures and my challenges. I also write to tell others things that I just find it difficult to explain on the phone or in person. Hence, this letter.

Dear you,

I think when you read this, you'll know who you are. I know this time it's difficult to leave the place where a thousand or more happy memories were formed, where romance for you blossomed without you looking for it, where challenges were met head on and conquered, where tears were shed due to goodbyes.. the place that shaped and molded you to the person you are today: a confident, no-longer-afraid-to-speak-up, passionate and soft-hearted woman. 
But all good things must come to an end. If not, they wouldn't stay as "good things". It's time for us, for you, to start anew. It has been challenging for me, and every day is a new hill for me to climb, and so it will be for you. You may look back with longing, but you also have to always look ahead with passion to conquer, and passion to succeed.
Lately, you have been pessimistic, afraid, and scared. I understand. Let those emotions take the back seat, and invite optimism, excitement and curiosity for the new okay? I know it's easier said than done. But you have to. You just have to. You're driving the car. So you choose who to ride shotgun.

Like I always say... it's time to move on, and start a new chapter. We've done it before, together... now it's time for us to do it again, not necessarily alone. This is why we're in a family phone plan. It's so we can draw support from each other, and accompany each other on lost walks along the busy highway. 

Sincerely,

Me.

Then...

 Now...

I know we can do this! :)
