To You

This is to you.

There is not one person that needs this more than another, nor is there one person who need this less than another.

Before I begin, know that you are worth more. I don't care what you tell yourself or what anyone else tells you: You are worth more than you think.

Life isn't long. Life isn't promised. Life is a time for living. 

Get up and get out. Take a walk and stop to smell the roses along the way. Examine the wilderness and experience the thrill of being outside.

Speak up and step in, fearlessly, because you are strong and capable.

Gather up all your courage and make a move. Kiss the boy, date the girl, and never hold back an "I love you".

There is too little of love in this world.

Make sure to tell your family thankful you are for them, especially your parents, because they need to hear it. 

In the middle of it all, cry. Let a few tears fall, let your heart break, and let yourself be sad. It's okay to cry. Remember that.

Pay attention to you, and to those that matter, but never give time to those who put you down or tell you that you can't do something. If you want to give them something, give them a show and prove them wrong.

Buy the dog, buy her dinner, buy a truck; but remember, you can't buy time. Use it well.

Be exotic. Be different. Be annoying. Be quiet. Be rambunctious. But most importantly, don't do something you will regret. A life full of regret is not a life you deserve.

Forgive and forget because nothing now will matter then.

Please take pictures. You'll thank me later.

Take chances and be wild. An adventurous lifestyle leads to thousands of priceless memories. 

But always make sure you're safe. Life isn't forever. Take a deep breath and think. Is it worth it?

And, if it is, then you make the most of it. 

Make the most of life. 

Sincerely, someone just like you.
