To Myself.

Dear Robbie,

You're struggling with things, but I promise you that if you keep on writing about anything that bothers you, you'll be able to feel better about it. Just get things out of you. Even if you think that it's not worth writing down, or if you think that it's not needed. Write it down. It'll benefit you to remember it later so that you know how to get yourself out of it. So write it down, even if it's small and you don't think it's worthy enough to write down.

Keep running that marathon you're in. Know that the path will get steep and you'll want to stop to take a break. But also know that you can't stop. You've got to keep going; you've got to keep moving. There are always areas to improve upon. You've got a long life ahead of you. Do it right. Do everything the right way. Do everything with your creativity and your imagination, and do it in such a proud way. You have every right to feel the way you do. You're just doing what you know is best for you. I know you're going to keep her in your life because you don't give up on people. You fall quicker than others and you attach some sides of your feelings to them- not the whole feelings, just the sides of them because you know that going from the outside in is the right way to do it. Your emotions are going to be your biggest asset one day, once they reach their peak and learn from everything that you've been through.

Go against the grain, Robbie.

"Life is just too short to keep playing the game. Because if you really want somebody, you'll figure it out later."

Keep those eyes open. Keep that head up. Keep the blood running through your veins, and keep your heart in tact.
