So I wrote this for my friend, for when she goes off to college. I'm going to seal this letter in an envelope, and write "OPEN WHEN FEELING DOWN" on it. I was wondering if you thought this would be helpful in your time of need; while your away from your friends. ENJOY!
Dear Friend,
If you are reading this, it must mean that you’ve hit a bump in the road. Well first I want you to pick up the phone and call me!! Did I answer? NO? Ok, Well then the next thing to do is to close your eyes, and imagine my huge smile; do you see it? Well I want to lend it to you till this rough patch is over. You can wear it, or just look at it and remember. It’s yours to use however you wish. Next I want you to imagine me sitting right next to you. Can you see me? Cause I’m there. I want you to feel my warm hug, and that my arms are there to catch you if you fall. It’s ok to cry, to be mad; just let it all out, you tell that to me all the time, and I just want to do the same. That’s what friends are for, and you’ll NEVER seem weak, or vulnerable; but strong and bold for wearing your emotions, your heart, on your sleeves. Your burden is not to be held alone, for I am there with you right now, just dig deep into your heart, and I’m there, always, whenever you need me, or a shoulder, that’s where I’ll be. Umm this might not be doing the job I want it to be doing.
Let’s start off with what makes you an amazing person/friend:
1. (Start list here…)
That’s why I’m writing this, to help you on your journey over at A&M. While though I’m far in distance, I’m close in spirit and want to help you as you always helped me. I hope you find this useful, and just keep calling,, we’ll find each other like we always do; it’s not that hard considering we have a binding connection, that can never be severed.
Now let’s go through sweet memories:
1. Start memories here.
We’ve been through so much in life, and these bumps are just there to keep us strong, so that we can become the best that we can be. There’s no need to worry, because you’ll find the way around it, and ultimately become a better person. I love you and don’t forget who you are friend. Hold on to what you find most dear: your family friends, God, swimming, and your animals. You can do it, I know you can. It will all fall into place, one by one, like stepping stones.
