Dead Sara,
You are something. I see you have been wrestling in the ring by
yourself and I want you to know, don’t quit because its only the beginning of
your greatest fight. I know you feel insecure and trust me, that’s a daily work,
even at thirty. I know you have created lists, charts and graphs that equate
social acceptance, but that too is a fallacy. Sweetheart, turns out there is no
pleasing them, so put down your works.
Friends come and go, boys become men, you will mature as a woman and
do not be shocked when you look back and you cant move forward. Ultimately, all
you need to know is God’s love and your love for others will welcome you into
rooms unknown.
Please don’t think to hard on the why rather the lesson. Don’t harp
too long on the burden rather the blessing. Don’t utter words that joke you out
of your happiness and know that rules, expectations and loyalty come with a
price. Mostly importantly, don’t take too long to move on when people, places
and things wound you. Just know it rains on the just and the unjust, and as long
as you go after your dreams you’ll be just fine. All that you have is all that
you need. Trust me, its all worth when the dust settles.
I love you.
Sincerely,
Shameless
