30 Day Letter Challenge Day Six. Stranger.
Dear Stranger,
Like any safety-conscious parent would tell their kid, I was told not to talk to you. However, I've grown up and at my work I have to talk to strangers. So I want to tell you, stranger, is that you are not alone even when you think you might be. Someone right now is thinking about you. It could be a kid that was in your class for one year in elementary but that person is wondering what happened to these people and what became of them. Someone out there is willing to love you too. You are always loved no matter what you may tell yourself. I am telling you now: You are loved. The hard times may come at you full force but after the storm there is always sun. Maybe it doesn't feel like that now, and maybe you have never known anything but storms in your life. But maybe you just need to step out of your routine: Drive a different way home, ride a bike instead, work up the guts to talk (because the worst that could happen means that person didn't want to know the beautiful person that is you. You don't deserve that), learn an instrument, save an animal from a local shelter. Try to do something different once a day. It can be the smallest change (driving a different route or a different food you've never had) to a huge new extreme that you never would have thought to do (skydiving or scuba diving). Try it and see how your life brightens up and opens new possibilities for you.
God Bless,
Beth

only in your dreams so exit the fall
30 Day Letter Challenge Day Five. Your Dreams.
Dear Dreams,
You are something I love to hate. A sweet escape. A drowning place. In my subconscious you make me remember what has happened through the day or that I am stressing over. Not cool. Though I will give you credit for giving me a good story idea. But at the same time I'd almost rather not remembering my dreams like I use to do. They were just dreams that stayed forgotten because they don't matter. So next time I fall into sleep please don't taunt me. Thanks.

it's not always easy, but i'm here forever
30 Day Letter Challenge Day Four. Closest Sibling.
Dear Pooh Bear,
Haha I haven't called you that in forever, have I? Well there we go. I don't know what to say to you because I see you everyday and tell you a lot of things. But I don't always tell you everything. You are one of my closest friends and probably will be until we die. You make me laugh and cry and want to die. You think I laugh at you all the time. And you're right; I do. But I'm not laughing because you are ugly or whatever it is you think. I'm laughing because you did whatever it is you do to make me laugh.
We need to find more Adventure Times to watch. Like Ricardio. And that gross magic one blah. Anyways chill out. I'll see you tomorrow when I get up and we go to Pier 1. Until then.
Hot Tamales.

its business up front and a party in the back
30 Day Letter Challenge Day Three. Parents.
Dear Parents,
I was originally going to write you separate letters but then I decided against it. Why, you may ask? Well I'm lazy but I also thought it was tacky. Haha kidding. I just thought that since its the 30-day letter and not letters I would only write one.
Really all I want to say is thanks for the memories. I'm outta here. =) No, really I want to say thanks for taking care of me since I was born and giving me support and feeding me and giving me food. So thanks for that.
But I also want to say that you guys better lay off on some stuff at times. I'm an adult and I need my own space and time and all that good stuff. I understand that it can't be all that easy since almost all of your kids are adults now but please don't treat us like we don't know how to get along in the outside world. You've raised us pretty dang well and I think we can deal for ourselves. Indeed.
I'll be sticking around for another two years but later I'm looking for my own space. It will be good times. I need to start a new chapter in my life at some time 'rents.
Love your number two.
PS. Happy Father's Day Dad.

i don't know you but i want you (all the more for that)
30 Day Letter Challenge Day Two. Crush.
Dear Crush,
I don't see you very often but you make my life worthwhile when I do. When you look over in my direction my heart skips and I wish you would just talk to me. We have similar interests (music) and as I watch you play your guitar with all that love and determination in your face I find myself falling even more for you. The way you play the piano fills my soul with joy. You make me forget about him and I wonder if you ever sad about losing her. I don't want to date in sympathy so you won't be a rebound when I never even dated him. I don't really know you but my sister kinda does and many other friends of mine do. If there was a way to talk to you I would. But I'm scared at the same time. But I would overcome my fears to be with you. Why can't we just talk and see where it goes from there? Ha, yeah like that will ever happen. Maybe this is why crushes are stupid ridiculous things. Yeah. See you tomorrow.

love is the movement, it's a revolution
30 Day Letter Challenge Day One. Best Friend.
Dear Best Friend,
I don't even know how to start this letter. Maybe that's because [I hope] you know how much you really do mean to me. You know that I don't like to talk about my emotions and stuff but writing them works so much better for me anyways :)
We haven't seen each other in a long time. But I want you to know that you are an absolutely beautiful woman! Now I know that you are thinking that I'm only saying this because I'm your best friend but I'm pretty sure I would tell you if you looked butt-ugly. Trust me on this. You are gorgeous. And I know life hasn't been kind to you a whole lot of the time. But that just adds to the beauty and your fighting spirit. I loved going out places with you because I would think "I'm so lucky to have a beautiful friend who actually wants to be seen with me" :P
I don't really know where you are in your spiritual life. But when you were still here I think that was one of my favourite things about our relationship. I've never had a friend closer than you who believed so much of the same things as me. But more than that is that I felt we were at the same point in our spiritual life and it helped having someone there with me going through the same battles. And I think this part of my life was the part that cried the most when you were gone and I didn't know what 'state' you were in. Anyways. I know this is cliche but I know that God has awesome plans for you if you draw close to him. I know because I could see such things before you moved. (Of course I couldn't see anything while you were gone ;D)
Gah there is so much I could say! I don't even know if I'm your best friend anymore because of that stupid crap that happened and I'm sorry about that and I know I will always regret it. I don't know if you'll ever want to bring it up again but I think we should even though neither of us want to because it will eat both of us and our friendship inside out. Aside from that I want to hear - actually hear in detail - what happened to you in the last few years. It's been a long time. You can say stuff happened and it doesn't matter. But it does to me. You shouldn't have to carry a burden by yourself. I promise I will talk about my side too. And its painful to me at certain parts but somehow I know you'll listen.
Music! In our souls, in our mouths, in our hands. I want that band to live. I don't even freaking care if its the two of us with guitars acoustic. The Rocket Summer is a one man band so obvs we would be a band, an acoustic one. I loved how I could write the lyrics and someone you could just pick the music out of the air. Beautiful. OH. There is concert (only $10!!!!!) on August 28th. Flyleaf, Skillet, Hawk Nelson, Starfield + a few more. Come wiiiiiith.
Hahaha okay I know I am super lame this way and I don't even have a boyfriend and I probably won't for a while but I want you to know that I want YOU (lol) in my bridal party. Bridesmaid, Maid of Honour.... we'll see. But you've been such an important part of my life I can't imagine you not being in there.
There is so much more that I could say but honestly I'd rather tell you face to face. I miss you so so much. I will love it when you (finally) move into the city. You are my partner-in-crime, my sister (though not by blood which is even cooler), and my best friend. Sorry this is long but at least it isn't as small as the writing on my actual letters. (Which hurts my eyes even XD EDIT: nevermind. it's pretty tiny too) I'll see you soon. Hopefully in August :D
Love McFly ♥
