It’s late at night, and I’m sitting on my bed thinking about what a crazy couple weeks it’s been. So much has changed within me lately that I don’t even know where to begin. But I will try to anyway.

I’d like to take some time to thank the people who have touched my life this year and who have stayed by my side through everything I’ve gone through. Some of you know who you are. Others have no idea. But no matter what, I want you to know that I love you and appreciate you.

There are some of you out there who are hurting right now, and I would sincrely like to be a light for you as well. The world is not in a good state these days, and human suffering and pain continues in spite of all the good we try to do. But you must not lose faith. Perhaps you are feeling weak and vulnerable, and the roadblocks in your path loom like skyscrapers. But here’s the secret: everyone is weak and vulnerable, and we all feel it sometimes. If we support each other, we can make it through. That is why we exist. To help each other.

I’m not at my most eloquent tonight, and I may not be making much sense. But I cannot hold back just because I’m not at my best. There are burning desires that I must release into the world, in the hopes that they may touch you, change you in the way that I have been changed.

My greatest wish is for you, my friend. That you may be freed from all the dispair that has built up within you. The beauty of your soul is a becon to all others, calling us home on stormy nights when we are far from ourselves. Do you feel it even now, warm and fluttering inside you? Do not fear failure or being alone. As long as you live, you will succeed in what truly matters. And you will never be alone.
