Letter I:
A Letter To My Reader/s

Hi!

My first letter will be addressed to you—my reader. I'm not sure if anyone would actually read my letters but if you are interested, thank you. It has always been my dream to write and share my works, and you are the reason why. I never had the confidence to do so. Ever since I was young, I was fond of reading literature and books. I kept on reading and reading and thought to myself that maybe I should try. So, I found my way here—in the world of writing. This work is either from the bottom of my heart and is wrapped with sincerity or, it may be fake. Nevertheless, thank you once again for reading! I hope you find the letter you're finding. Enough about me. Let's talk about you.

Obviously, we don't know each other. I don't know what your likes and dislikes are, where you're from, what makes you laugh, what color are you fond most, because I'm a stranger inside this web, and to be honest you're reading a stranger's letters (that may be actual letters or just made up ones, you guess). A few of you, maybe, but quite impossible, have not yet tried receiving a letter—well, here's one for you!

How are you? I wanted to say if you're going through something, I can listen. Slide through my DMs sis, I got you. And don't worry, I know it's kinda weird to tell a stranger about what you feel but I won't judge. I know how it feels to be alone, or feel alone despite being surrounded by people around you. Sometimes, we get sad on little details but what they don't know is that those 'small things' actually mean a lot to you. It may be because of how you look, or that confused and angry feeling you get because life seems so low, and you couldn't feel anything—even if you wanted to. And you wanted to feel at least something but you couldn't, it's like a feeling of assurance, and you wanted to make sure you're still alive. Life can be easier, if you try to open up and let people in. Sometimes it seems like you're alone in the dark, and everyone seems to be against you. But really, people aren't. You're just blinded by your thoughts and those chains that keep dragging you again and again, but you have the power to cut it. You do, if you just try.

And yes this saying is quite notorious and it's hard to believe but, it does get better. Maybe not today, or tomorrow or for the next 3 years, but it will come. That day will come and you'll find whatever makes you happy, and there will be no tears, and pain.

For those who doesn't feel the same, my heart is truly happy for you. And by that, I hope and pray that you will remain positive in all things. You deserve all the happiness you receive.

Incase no one has ever told you this—all of you are all beautiful and what makes you different is what makes you more beautiful, embrace your flaws, embrace yourself because at the end of the day, that same body and same person will be your only ally. Love your life, cease the day, learn new things, read new books, spend more time with your loved ones, compliment one another, travel the world or just travel your room/neighborhood if you're feeling lazy like me, eat more cake, spoil yourself. There are a lot of things to make yourself happy. If you want change, be the change and the rest will follow.

Don't be too hard on yourself, okay? The world seems to be a little brighter when you smile (a genuine one, of course!). :)

Love,
