A Letter to a Friend

My dear friend,

I know that ever since you were a child, you have been taught that determination is a virtue, a worthy thing to pursue. Your parents have repeatedly inculcated this in you through the stories they tell and the actions they show. However, my dear friend, there is a certain time when a person has to admit that what he or she is trying to attain cannot be attained; that what he or she is aspiring is not actually for him or her. There comes a time when the best option would be to give up. Or maybe, the better word to use would be - surrender. There comes a time when the best choice one can pick is to surrender. What I am trying to say here, my dear friend, is that, maybe, just maybe, you need to let go already. Yes, I know your efforts, I know of your sacrifices. I know how you have tried and how you have given it a shot. . .and a worthy shot it was. But in this letter, I ask you to reconsider.

Moreover, my dear friend, there are a lot of beautiful words in this world. However, each of these beautiful words is still not exempt from the power of time. They have their own time, place, and situation where and when they should be spoken. And furthermore - the certain specific person to which they should belong. By keeping this in mind, you will help every beautiful word fulfill the purpose of its existence. I take it that you get what I am trying to say.

Life is beautiful. God made it to be such. There are a lot of other options out there. I know you will find it. God has a better thing in store for you, one that would fit you, and fit you perfectly for that matter. I cannot give you what you seek, but God can. You are certainly, and with no doubt whatsoever, valued by me. God bless.

Very truly yours,

Your Friend
