Dear friend,
Today I had a nice long walk on the beach. I love watching the waves, smell the sea and pick up the odd stone here and there. The sea makes me feel relaxed. I respect the sea something incredible and I would always be very careful around it or in it but I suppose its the same with anything so naturally beautiful... You respect it automatically, don't you? It wasn't too windy, too hot, too cold or too high tide. It was just right and so pretty. I was so thankful for having such a nice day (some might not call it exciting or even boring) with amazing views.
Do you have a place that really makes you feel relaxed?
I'd love to hear all about it!

Bad belly but no cookies
Dear friend,
I am busy baking (don't worry I have made plenty for you too!). But they are still in the oven and I have already a bad belly from eating the dough and chocolate.
Typical!
Fancy a cuppa while we are waiting for the cookies?

Knocking on your door
Dear friend,
I have something very important but also very sensitive topic to talk to you about. It can be quite upsetting to think about or even just read so I apologize in advance for that.
A few days ago I found out that two young lads (with their whole lives ahead of them) decided to both take their lives not far away from where I live. A dog walker found them on his daily morning was and was in so much shock that he had to be taken into hospital. It makes you think when you read or hear stories like this and it does unfortunately happen every day to someone even though you might not hear or find out about it. But when it happens right where you live it really makes you think (it's not easy to distance yourself from something like it especially not when its practically on your doorstep).
Ever since I heard about the tragic news. The same thoughts have been going over and over in my head. Why did two lads decide to take their lives? Were they really that unhappy or was it something that could have changed for the better the next day? Why does anyone choose to take their life when they have been given the amazing chance to be here on this planet? How do you deal with it if it happens to you? Always questions but no answers.
If I could ever change any one's mind to do something so big, so painful, horrific and to be honest selfish, I would do it in a flash. And that's one of the reasons I am writing to you my friend. No matter who you are, what you are or where you are... I want you to know that I am your friend. Always. And what ever might happen, we'll sort it out together, right? That's what friends do!
There are things in this world that can't be fixed, but things can always get better. Sure it might take time, effort or a lot of help but things can and will always get better. I wish I could tell this to every soul in the universe right now at this moment: You will never be alone, things will get better and loving ourselves makes our soul stronger than ever before!
If that would help even just one person just by telling them that, I would happy.
Thank you my amazing friend for always being here for me.

I am your friday friend!
Dear friend,
I had more than just one "of them days". It came over me like a shadow from above and no matter what I did nothing felt right. So I dealt with it in the easiest (and hardest) way I could think of. I simply let it get to me. Because as soon as I let it get to me and let my body and myself feel that it's ok not to feel good all the time... I slowly started feeling better again. And here I am, feeling better than ever.
It's also Friday today and the feeling of friday always makes me feel better. It's not even that special like when I was really young and almost everything felt as though it changed for the better on a friday. From food to activities!
I better get started with this friday now, I have a feeling I will be busy (you know the feeling even if you don't have much planned?).
But I am also looking forward more time with you later on!
Or did you maybe think you would be alone this friday? You're never alone with me! :)
See you soon!

I can feel a little lie coming...
Dear Friend,
I'm having one of them days.
You know when nothing feels right. Everything can be exactly like normal but its just not right. You feel tired and think nothing is enough. I'm thankful for having "boring" days like this but I also feel bad that I'm not making the most of it. I suppose you can't feel 100% all the time, that wouldn't be human.
But is there really any point of telling anyone how you feel? You might as well lie a little bit so 1. You won't make anyone worried or 2. Have to explain that nothing is really wrong but it's just one of them days.
If someone (that I'm not close to) asks me how I am today, I'll no doubt say I'm fine while a billion thoughts will spin around in my head and say I'm not.
So my dearest friend I wonder...
If anyone asks you today how you are feeling, what will you answer?

A tea on me!
Dear friend,
I have just sat down with a nice cup of tea. That's right, I am a tea person! Or a tea lover I should say, because my cupboard is absolutely full of different types of tea. Everything from Earl Gray, herbal, green, white, red and fruity ones. I love trying new ones! My whole family are "heavy" coffee drinkers but I "converted" to tea Haha. I love snuggling up with nice hot cup of tea no matter what day, season or time it is.
I'd love to know what you are, coffee, tea or maybe something else?

Waiting for the Sandman
Dear Friend,
It's night and full moon. Full moon always means no sleep for me. I never had problems sleeping and I never really check when its full moon and when its not. But if I do have problems sleeping I look out in the dark, and there it is. Full Moon. Call me crazy but its a fact.
Sleepless nights gives me a lot of time to think. Sometimes that's a really good thing and other times I wish I could switch all the thoughts off. The bad thoughts at least. But whatever I worry about at night never seems as bad in the morning. Why does it always feel so bad at night?
I hope the Sandman pop in soon, I could use some of that magic sand of his :)
Good Night my beautiful friend!

No big deal!
Dear Friend,
I am really sorry I have not been writing to you anytime sooner. I don't even have an excuse for it either apart from things have been rather hectic and stress makes my body scream for attention. I completely ignore it until it's unavoidable and unfortunately that might be too late and I usually get ill. This time I did listen to my body in time and now I am here! I promise I will keep writing to you, don't you worry!
This week I did 2 things that I have been dreading for a while now. I have been sweating like a pig, twisting and turning and almost changed my mind not to do it. But I did in the end and now I feel great after it's done! I almost feel proud over myself, even thought they might not seem like big things to other people. That made me think how I should do more things that I don't really want to do, just to feel that it wasn't a big deal afterwards. Because it's usually not!
You go through it and come through as a stronger person. Even if it wasn't like you imagined it to be, at least you tried it and you did it. Be proud of yourself!
Do the thing you are dreading to do and love yourself for daring to do it. Life is full of opportunities and it would be a shame to lose out because of fear. DO IT! And tell me all about it afterwards!

Miss you
Dear friend,
Have you ever missed someone so much you don't know what to do with yourself? I miss some people daily, some just once in a while, I miss some more than others and I sometimes I can even miss people I haven't even met. The truth is I am very scared of losing anyone in my life. I recently did lose someone close, but I feel as if she is still here in a way. I don't miss her in the way I thought I would, because I still feel as though she is close to me. I'm sure you understand what I mean.
But I am still very afraid to lose anyone close to me and I am thankful for every day I get on this planet with all the people I know and love. Life is too fragile not to be thankful for what we get.
Missing someone is a loving feeling but it can also be very painful in your soul. You can miss someone with a smile or a tear. Even both at times! In a way I am glad I can miss someone, because that means I was lucky enough to know the person... but oh how horrible it can be.
Dear friend, do you miss anyone in your life?

Dreams
Dear friend,
I'm so glad I have you to talk too now. I have too many thoughts going around and around in my little head at the minute.
Have you ever dreamt about something so big you never think it will ever come true? Think again. Nothing is impossible. I believe everyone has their own path to take in life to appreciate what we all have and learn something on the way there. But in the end I hope all people in the world strive for their dreams. No matter how big or impossible they might seem.
Believe in your dreams, believe in yourself and your soul!

Stephen
Dear friend,
I'm gonna tell you a story about Stephen. Stephen sells magazines in the street for money. A lot of people doesn't even look at him and I'm ashamed to admit I used to be one of them. He tries to get people's attention with a nice Hello or just a smile. But at the end of the day he still struggled sell all his magazines. Why? you might ask. Because people judge him from the second they see him.
Stephen doesn't own any fancy clothes or has a posh accent. Stephen is just Stephen. With a heart of gold and a smile that makes you warm inside. And all he wants is a smile back or someone to talk to him. He doesn't mind people saying no to his magazines, obviously not everyone wants a one. But what upsets him is people that pretends like he's just not there. He once said "The brick wall behind me gets more attention than me..." and that really hurt me hearing him say that. Unfortunately that is the brutal truth.
Just standing next to him for a couple of minutes and people does the same to you. Not a glance, not a smile. Nothing. Just walking past, leaving you feeling worthless.
After experiencing that I promised myself I would never just walk past someone like that. Even if it just means turning your head saying No thank you. That's all it takes. Small things make a big difference, especially when you already feel worthless.
Stephen is now a friend of mine and I really enjoy talking to him once in a while when I see him smiling in the street. If only people knew what a kind man Stephen is.
Dear friend, I hope you don't judge a book by it's cover...
you never know what you will find underneath!

New friendship!
Dear friend,
I hope this is a start of a new and happy friendship between us. If you will be my friend, I will be yours! Because we all need a friend, right?
It really breaks my heart when I hear about people being alone. No one should ever feel or be alone in this world. I hope that even if you one day feel as if there is no ending of your dark tunnel, please know that I am here for you. I will walk you through the tunnel until we see the light. Together!
I can't wait to get to know you more!
