I am writing this to you so that one day you might remember
what you were like. I have quite a bit of experience
in knowing your habits, attitudes and motivations.
By no means do I know everything about you,
but I know more than most people probably do.
You largely come across as a very likable,
and fairly well-spoken person.
Sometimes you speak softly and need to be
asked to speak louder, and more clearly.
When you put effort into your speech
you tend to have a refined sounding voice,
or at least thats what everyone has been saying.
From time to time you can be too eager to please.
That isn't an altogether bad characteristic to have,
just watch it, that's all I'm saying.
Be more assertive when you truly want something.
It doesn't matter if it's material or immaterial,
let the concerned party know what it is you want.
Try. Try often. Stop blocking your chances
of success on any front with your constant
parade of self-doubt that gradually evolves
into a dinosaur of inaction.
That has to be one of your worst qualities.
Try to listen. I know you think you listen a lot,
in all fairness, you do; but you can do better.
Move more. Get out from behind that desk,
get out from behind those light emitting screens
that you spend so much of your time behind.
Sure, it's entertaining, but life isn't meant
to be lived behind such gates.
Don't let yourself be constantly disappointed
in others or yourself.
If you're disappointed by something, or someone
look at why. Don't play that stupid blame game,
try to get to the heart of the matter.
Be more careful with your writing.
Think yours words out.
Make each like run, jump and scream
from the page! Don't be so fearful,
they're only words. Wield words as both
pen and sword. They truly carry the power
of both. Get over the past.
If you keep clinging to ghosts you will
eventually become one yourself before
your time. Remember that.
Just let go. Let go and let it stop
that ache you've carried around like a christ
who is saving no one from sin.
Be kind to yourself.
You're such a fierce critic of yourself,
allow others inside more than you have.
Neither you, nor your friends and family
are one-dimensional. Show them the depth
of what you are, what you carry.
Stop worrying about all the stupidity
of the world which you cannot control.
Wield the power you have justly.
You're a good person.
Keep praying if that helps you,
if it doesn't then don't.
No need to bug everyone with that.
You already do this most of the time, but
Be Kind, Be Kind, Be Kind, Be Kind,
Be Kind, Be Kind, Be Kind, Be Kind.
