You can’t continually ask for too much in life. Ask for a lot? Everything will usually fall short of expectations. Ask for a little less? You will end up surprised with how much you end up with. You my dear are too scared of the future. That’s one of your biggest flaws, and believe me, there’s a lot of them. I don’t mean it in a rude way, it’s just the truth. We all have flaws. Even I have flaws. Maybe more than you, maybe even less. But that shouldn’t matter. All that does matter is knowing that they are there, they’re a part of you, a part of me, a part of everyone, and that’s what makes them beautiful. I tell you, don’t be afraid. And when I tell you everything will be alright, I mean it. So, why don’t you believe me? I’m not bullshitting you, that’s surely the last thing I would do. I’m not the kind of person to try and get your hopes up just in time for them to be crushed. Everything will be alright. Everything will ohkay. How many times do you want me to say it? I’ll say it as many times as I must until you believe it. Because everything is going to be alright. Right now, as you’re looking ahead, you can see all the things that you don’t want. But the thing is, when it’s happening, you won’t even notice it. You won’t notice when you’re drifting away from the ones you call your friends. Why? It’s a slow process. And all the while, it’s probably because you’ll be drifting closer to others. And then that moment will hit you when you don’t even know the person you used to call your best friend, but you’re going to be ohkay with that because you’ll have someone else filling that hole in your heart. By the time, someone else will have that name. It just hurts to think about it now, but when it finally happens, it will become nothing. You won’t even give it a second thought. But I know you’re afraid of being alone, I can see it in you. Not only that but you’ve told me. Just so you know, you’re never alone. There’s always someone that’s going to be there. Sometimes it might not be who you want it to be, but they’re there for you nonetheless. I want you to know that if we ever drift apart, if you ever need me again, I’ll still be there for you. Call me up, and I’ll definitely be the person there to care for you if nobody else does. Cuhs’ truth is, everybody needs somebody to care about them. Every single person deserves to be cared for. Everybody has feelings, thoughts. Everybody is beautiful in their own way. Everybody is just like you, no matter who you may be. Everybody is human. Everything is going to be ohkay. Just like I said before, but I can’t express it enough. I need you to believe me though. You’re going to get your happy ending, you deserve it. And maybe it’s not going to be what you wanted, but it will be a happy ending, in its very own way. You’re going to fall in and out of love countless times, until you find that one. You’re going to go through tons and tons of “good friends”, people who would do anything for you, and even though you might drift away from many of them, a few of them are going to stick around forever. You’re going to find things that make you instantly happy, and you’re going to do those things until you get bored or tired and move onto something else. And after a while, you will probably settle down, get a job, and then just live your life, without worrying about too much anymore. You’re going to have everything you need, a family, some friends, happiness and a way to obtain money. And don’t get me wrong my dear, there will still be ups and downs, but when you stop and think about it for a minute, you will finally realize that it’s not all that bad. It will be perfect in its very own little way. It’s going to be a good life. It’s going to be happy. It’s going to be alright.

Newsflash: Everyone’s scared. That’s not a reason to run away.
