To you.

I don't want you to be scared that you are going to be alone for the rest of your life and that you will never find someone with whom you can share you life.  There are so many people in this world, and you will find someone worthy of your presence.  I know that right now, without that one person, your life may seem unfulfilled, but there are so many things that remain.  So many paths left unexplored, so many doors kept closed...locked...bolted.  WHY?   You have the keys to open them.  SO OPEN THEM!  Don't think that this is how it's going to be for the rest of your life.  You're SO young.  This is the perfect time to go and explore, learn, and DISCOVER!!

We're not burdened by the same pressures of our parents and grandparents--we have time to mold our lives into the perfect picture, into what we want it to be, without having to worry about how it is supposed to be.

Don't settle for mediocrity.  Think about what you're doing and examine all of your options.  You are able to do so much, don't throw it all away and regret your decision once it is too late.  Think about all the things in this world that are so much better.

I know that you think that he is "the one."  I know you think that no one else will love you like he loves you.  And I know that this scares you.  I know that you want MORE but you're scared to go and look for it.  Don't be scared.  Please don't be scared.  It's there.  It's right there.  You have to be open to it.  You have to stand and wait with your arms spread out and your eyes closed and when you least expect it, it will HIT you.  BAM!
And then you will know that it is right.  Then you will know that it was what was always missing.  What you were terrified you would never find.  But there it is.

Don't let that opportunity go.  Please.  I can't sit here and watch you turn into a prune.
