Miles Carter
Another letter to remind myself who I am
This life is not something to go about so casually
You're already 22... And every day is your first and last chance to embrace every part of this so-
Slow down
You're only 22
What's even scarier than death is dying having not lived
This experience was not made to go about casually,
It was gifted to you
Along with a body to embrace, and a planet to explore
And a universe to remind you there is always more
You've been blessed with the opportunity to embody limitless potential
So imagine without limit
Let every action be deliberate
Don't get so caught up in who you are now
You're already better for wanting to be better
Remember you're only in competition with who you were
Every obstacle is an opportunity to dismiss who you've been
So if you're still unsure who you are
You can always be certain in who you will be
And you will be great, I promise
You've still got some time
So above all else remember to enjoy yourself
After all the arguments and debates
Theories and conspiracies
The fact remains we are ignorant to any ultimate truth in all this
We are then left with the responsability of bringing meaning to this life
Though life won't always be meaningful
It won't always play out like it does in the movies
But know that every bad day is only another scene in a film you've already written
And it doesn't end now
So let everyday run its course
Avoid anticipating the future or overindulging your past,
They are only echoes of what you did today,
You're allowed to take a break
And when tomorrow finds you
Know with everything inside you
Beginnings always hide themselves in ends
