Letters To Life

To Life

Dear Life,

I know you are a gift, but you can be a pain in the ass. So far, for as long as I lived you've brought me pain, happiness, sickness, health, heartbreak and love. You made me love and hate you at the same time. You made me feel like I needed to make a purpose out of you, and you made me feel like I had to end you, but I didn't. I didn't end you because I know you are a gift, and I know things will get better, I know that through the journey of life, I'll have to climb mountains, swim across oceans, walk through a desert without a single drop of water, and walk through glass before I reach my purpose in you, my purpose in life. I also know that throughout all of that I will fall, and I will fail, I will want to give up, I will want to just end it all, to make it stop, but I won't. I will get back on my two feet and keep going, I will keep going because I know I have a purpose, I was placed on this earth for a reason. Life, you can throw everything you have at me and I will get back up and keep going until I reach the end. Life, I just wanted you to know that even when you break me into pieces and I'm forced to put myself back together I will still forgive you because without you I wouldn't be able to conquer my dreams and make a difference. I want to thank you for all you've put me through, because, without those things, I would be weak I wouldn't know how to protect myself from that boy that once broke my heart, life you've taught me lessons that I won't ever forget, you taught me to be strong, you taught me to be myself no matter what, you taught me to not be afraid, and for that I love you. Oh but life, to teach me those things, you put me through hell, you made me feel like a had no purpose, you made me feel like I wasn't good enough, and for that I hate you. Now, at the end of this letter, I want just want to say, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me.

Love

- A
