Everything you said is just so so true. This made me realize how much I dig into my head and start to see all the bad things without appreciating all the beauty outside. I really needed it, especially during this time

I’m so happy this letter helped you! I’ve also noticed that it’s easy to get lost in our own heads and to only see the bad, especially this past year. Luckily, the more we train ourselves to notice the beauty around us, the easier it becomes. The hope is that one day it becomes a reflex, like waking up from a dream. I hope you are doing well today, Vianny. I’m sending you lots of love, my friend. ❤️

Everything in this letter makes so much sense to me. I’ve been struggling with anxiety since last year and I realized I could only think about myself all the time. It's suffocating. To me, it’s an constantly exercise to look outside. And I totally agree, the greatest moments came from that.

I’m happy this letter resonated with, Helen. I know how you feel — I used to have bad anxiety too. It still creeps up sometimes, especially when I fixate on myself. Luckily, the more we train ourselves to look outward whenever we are anxious the easier it becomes. Eventually, it might even become a reflex. I know life can be a lot sometimes but I hope you are doing well, my friend. I’m wishing you all the best. 🙂

Dear Andrew,

It has been very troubling these days for me to figure out what is wrong with my life because everything seems to be falling apart and I felt unloved almost every moment and chaotic.

After reading this letter, my heart feels at ease and now that I am slowly trying to understand the meaning of living life, I want to give a try to open my heart to the beauty of this world, I want to spread my arm out and welcome the magic in living with the beautiful things and people around me.

Thank you for the letter. I feel at ease after reading it :)

This is exactly what i needed to hear! Before i thought that when i start getting self-conscious about something then i should dig into myself and calm down instead of spending time outside or with other people. I thought like that because the latter option felt like i was distracting myself and just shutting my feelings off, while it is actually the other way around! Thank you so much for this letter :)
