My Note to You...

[dauntperplexity]

This is an edit of what is written in the journals that I've passed out to people who need to express themselves. 

Hi there,

Thank you for actually taking the time to read this note. I would've probably just skipped it. But since you're here, chill awhile.

First of all, thank you for stopping by. I don't know who you really are, or if we'll ever meet, but I really want you to participate in this journal. 

I invite you to write in your own journal. Not every day, just if you feel the need to. I also want you to really try and write through this journal in order. It'll be really random at times, sometimes even repetitious, but fully believe in those two words. 

There will be a lot of mistakes in this journal o my part, I'm sure. I'm not perfect, but I don't believe in erasing. The crossing out makes us human. But I don't want you to cross things out because you're afraid someone will read it. I say, SCREW THEM! This journal is for you.

I want to believe that this journal will help you out. It might not be immediate, but there is a power to putting pen to paper.

I think this journal will be a journey that you can take. I hope that, throughout this writing process, you can find something.

I want you to know something:

Someone loves you and cares for you enough to want this for you.

This will require a lot of effort from you.

Some of the things I will ask will make you dig deep and it might even hurt. DO NOT SHY AWAY FROM THOSE FEELINGS!

You will learn to listen to what those voices inside are saying and you will shut them up.

*I'm talking about the negative voices.

And finally:

I refuse to let you get lost in the shuffle.

We'll find what we're searching for. Whatever it is.
