White Noise

Dear __________.

Did you ever have a day where you feel as though the follow through is a little off? Like the right steps aren't being taken to get to where people want to be. As though they can't see what is right in front of them, or what could lie right in front of them, if indeed they only went for it. 

Maybe it's just me. I see this constantly in the eyes of a friend of mine, who just keeps making the same mistakes over and over but never once stops to think that maybe if she tried a different route, she would arrive at a better outcome. Sometimes it seems so easy as an outsider looking in. But people need to make mistakes their way before they feel as though something different and perhaps better can be done.

I realize this clearly, __________. Many times over, when living in New York in my early twenties I would do things that looking back on them I say to myself, "what was i thinking?", but in that same moment I do believe that these are thing decisions that made me become the person I am. I learned quickly from my choices, not always an easy lesson, but one learned, nonetheless.

In your case I think you are learning but I do not think you are taking positive action. You are not living life to it's fullest, and you have no idea what that could even feel like. So I encourage you to fall out of routines, make some strong adult decisions, and become the person that you have always wanted, but were too scared to go forth and do. It is easier for anyone to wallow in their own misery then to go do, potentially fail, and try again. With these kind words, you will avoid a life of what ifs, but rather I do believe have more moments of fulfillment, as opposed to instant gratification.

Thank you for listening, ________. While it all might seem a little confusing now, someday soon I think it will hit you, and when it does, I will be there.

All my,

Just a girl, wondering why you do what you do, when there are clearly better things to be worrying about, and steps to take towards a happy future.
