Letter to All Friends and Family

To all of my friends, and family,

I realize that I may have disconnected, and lost touch with you, but I wanted to let you know that I still care about you. I never meant to leave you. I never meant to hurt you. I have realized now, after a lot of mistakes, that you’re what will always be important to me, and that I shouldn’t have ever taken any of you for granted for another person to fill all of your shoes. I never realized how much I lost by trying to gain something that I thought was better, until now.

Do I regret it? No.. Because it made me appreciate every single one of you so much more. Once I came back to Earth from being away from everyone, I realized how I missed you. I missed out on a lot, because of decisions I made, and I may have hurt you, and I’m sorry. Sorry doesn’t even come close to how I feel, but I didn’t ever mean for this all to come so far and to put myself in a position to have almost lost every single one of you.

You are the people who have been there for me if I needed you, but I never recognized the fact that you were there even though I wasn’t. Even though I was completely checked out of my life, too worried about someone else’s, you were there. If I needed you, you were there. If I needed you but didn’t THINK I needed you, you were there. Even after I disappeared, I still had people to care for me, without me realizing it.

My priorities haven’t been straight in my life, but it’s never too late to fix something, and I need to do this now.

YOU are what was, are, and always will be important to me.

YOU are the ones who I cherish most.

YOU may come and go in my life physically, but you’ll always remain a memory, of a time when everything was okay.

YOU will always be the reminders that life has so much to offer to me, and I don’t need to give up on who, and what I believe in.

YOU have brought so much joy into my life, and I have no regrets as far as any of you are concerned. I’m proud to have every single one of you in my life.

I will never forget any of you; I’ll never let the bad times overrule the good.

All of my memories of my life, and how it was will always be the good side of things.

I won’t shut you out.

I won’t pretend you don’t exist anymore.

And most importantly, I’m never going to give up on you, and I’m never going to let go of you.

In my life now, I am happy. I am content. I don’t need another person to make me happy. I need me to make me happy, and I’ve learned that in a bit of a hard way.

But lessons are made to be learned, and I don’t regret anything.

I learned from it, and I learned that in life, family and friends are the most important things in this world next to you.

Cherish yourself, love yourself, and believe in yourself.

Smile, and never let the worst times run your life.

You never know when it could all be ripped away from you.


Don’t take your life and everything in it for granted. Because that is when you’ll learn how important it all is. Don’t let someone else control you, or ruin YOU. Be your own person. Fall in love with yourself, and never let go of the things that make you who you are. Not for anyone, or anything.

You’re beautiful. You’re amazing. You’re perfect. Your flaws shouldn’t be flaws to you. They’re what make you who you are, and you don’t need to resent the world, or even yourself for that. Love every single thing about yourself. Trust me, it makes you happier.

When someone compliments you, don’t point out your flaws. They see them, but they appreciate them, and they appreciate you on some level, and they mean what they say.

Don’t let people teach you that the following things are correct:
     -Never trust anyone.
     -Hate everyone.
     -You’re not perfect.
     -You’re wrong.

Those people don’t value anything enough.
Be who you want to be.

Do what makes YOU happy. If you want something, obtain it. Don’t let someone stand in your way.

Don’t hate everyone just to make you feel safe. Love is much safer than hate. Don’t automatically judge someone by what they look like, and hate them from the start. “Even Lucifer fell from Heaven.”
Give people a chance to know you, and care about you. You probably need it and don’t realize it. Let life guide you, and don’t be irrational. Your life is important. Don’t throw it away just because you feel like there’s not a way out. That’s a permanent solution for a temporary problem. Believe that in time things do, in fact, get better. Don’t forget that someone somewhere will always find you important. Don’t forget that you’re loved.


                                             

                                                          Life is better than we make it out to be… We just have to live.




With all of my heart and soul,

Aubrey
