Another letter to remind myself who I am

  • This life is not something to go about so casually.
    You’re already 22.. And everyday is your first and last chance to embrace every part of this so-
    Slow down
    You’re only 22
    what’s even scarier than death is dying having not lived
    This experience was not made to go about casually,
    It was gifted to you
    Along with a body to embrace, and planet to explore
    And a universe to remind you there is always more
    You’ve been blessed with the opportunity to embody limitless potential
    So imagine without limit
    Let every action be deliberate
    Don’t get so caught up in who you are now
    You’re already better for wanting to be better
    Remember you’re only in competition with who you were
    Every obstacle is an opportunity to dismiss who you’ve been
    So if you’re still unsure who you are
    you can always be certain in who you will be
    And you will be great, I promise
    You’ve still got some time
    So above all else remember to enjoy yourself.
    After all the arguments and debates, the theories and conspiracies,
    The fact remains we are ignorant to any ultimate truth in all this.
    We are then left with the responsibility of bringing meaning to this life
    Though life won’t always be meaningful
    It won’t always play out like it does in the movies,
    But know that every bad day is only another scene in a film you’ve already written
    And It doesn’t end now
    So Let everyday run its course.
    avoid anticipating the future or overindulging your past,
    They are only echoes of what you did today,
    You’re allowed to take a break
    And when tomorrow finds you
    Know with everything inside you
    Beginnings always hide themselves in ends

    Dear Hannah,
    I know we aren’t together anymore and you may suffer from anxiety, but just know I’ll always support you even if you don’t want me to be there. “You’re already better for wanting to be better”. You will always be worth more than how you currently view yourself, and one day you will wake up and realize that you finally made it there. You are going to be happy. You are going to live a great life. Anticipate happiness tomorrow, even if today isn’t. You are strong and you can do anything you put your mind to. I am proud of you regardless of the way we turn out. Be happy. I know you will be soon.
    Love,
    Justin

I’ve been thinking about it for years and there have been signs all over urging me to finally pursue these dreams. Running across this video is just another crazy reassurance from the universe that I am making the right decision. Also I hope I can have a relationship like his mother and father one day they sound like a power couple. Bless you Miles!

I see life through a new lense, one that pushes me to make everyday count, and to strive to be a better person. Miles, you will never see this, but even if it was a letter for yourself, its really helped me too, and id like to say thank you.

I still got more time. And I can trust that I am on a good path.

    As someone who is really uncertain about how my life will be.. I needed my parents to talk to me about it, but they couldn't.. They aren't rlly vocal.. So.. Watching this video helped me that.. Having uncertain things in life isn't that bad as long as i know what i want in my future. Maybe these little steps will bring me closer to my future.

    This film just won an Oscar. (in my mind I say so.)
    I relate to this too much.
    I'm turning 22 in two months,
    I've always thought of myself as the youngest, dumbest, most scatter brained and the most naive amongst my cohort, (that was the excuse I gave myself, "I didn't give 100% in it, i didn't get a good mark in it because, I'm not taking this seriously, there's always next time where i'll dedicate myself when I find something I take seriously").
    I found that was a lie when i realised i'm still scatterbrained compared to people younger than me.
    My scatterbrained-ness is coming out into basically everything i do.
    I only realise at 21 that everything you attempt should be calculated and deliberate, there's not point half assing everything pretending you just don't care about it to 'attempt' it seriously.
