To whom it may concern,
Look first things first let’s talk about your self image issues, you try so hard to make people who already love you, love you. You are the funniest person I know so that’s a plus. You are intense and to make things worse you are hyper aware of how insanely intense you are which only makes you more self conscious of it causing more problems.
You are messed up when it comes to issues of the heart, we all know this but we are patient and remember time heals nothing it just gets filled up with other things to care about along the way. Your worst fears may come true but relax you are still here and it’s going to be OK, learn to make the best of what you have.
Forgive yourself…for EVERYTHING, whats done is done and you can change nothing so embrace who these things have made you, it’s what you have my friend. For the most part the people who don’t like you don’t like you because of who they are not because of who you are, you are strong and this scares people sometimes.
Never stop being passionate, passion fuels hope and joy and makes people laugh and smile and God knows we need more of that right now. NEVER take yourself entirely too seriously this will cripple you and steal your joy.
Take time to listen, like really listen to others, listening evokes empathy in the world. Stand in solidarity with the broken hearted for they need it and so do you. It’s OK to be weak sometimes this does not make you a victim it makes you human, remember you are only a victim if you stay down.
Try new things, expand your horizons and don’t fall back on what is easy and comfortable. You will conquer your health, both mental and physical, these two things are intricately intertwined. You may or may not find the one, this is one of the great mysteries of life, enjoy the unknown and have fun just getting to know people along the way, the first person who gets you is not the one by default.
Enjoy each moment and never ever ever stop being you because the world needs you to be this, it may not always appreciate you the way you wish they would but your time will come…Just wait and see
Your friend,
Mark Fitzgerald
