A Letter to the Strangers.

Dear Stranger,

You deserve much more credit than you are given, if I may say so myself. I don’t even know where to start because I have so much admiration and thankfulness for you… There’s something so special about the mysterious breeze of your presence. Stranger, you inspire me to create these worlds in my head and explore characters that I never knew existed. The way you come and go, leaving a bigger impression than you know… I think it’s wild.

The reality of You, pushes me into a void of unknown and I must confess that I love this affect. Sometimes when I see you, I worry that you might not be okay, or maybe you need help in some way… when I see you like that, I do my best to remind you that you are a person deserving of compassion, and provide you with the simple validation that it’s okay to exist. I think what I just said is an easy thing for us all to forget sometimes… when things get hard, that’s when we forget and then we define ourselves as hopeless.

Many times, the people we know can make us feel worse than strangers, and even though that feels unfair, it is just a fact. When those ‘worse than strangers’ relationships begin to feel like that, and you can feel it turning toxic, please don’t cling to it. If you cling to something toxic, it ruins you… This is why, sometimes, I prefer to live within the imaginative, and inspiring world of You. My dear, you have widened my perspective, and made me a tad bit wiser… I can’t thank you enough.

Please stay present in my life as I will, without a doubt, look forward to the next time we ‘meet’ and you take me away from all of this. I hope that maybe these words will awaken you to the mystery that exist beyond yourself.

Sometimes it’s beautiful when we close our eyes and start again.

Sincerely,

m e
