A Courage Letter to Myself

Dear Future Self,

You are reading this because something has happened and you need the courage to get through it. It might be something good and life changing or it might be something sad and hard to deal with. Whatever it is you can get through it! I believe in you! If you can make it through COVID and all the dealings you had to deal with because of that. You can make it through anything! You made it through not seeing your siblings and nieces and nephews for a whole year. You made it through your 2nd year of dating when you couldn't go anywhere. You made it through all of your dad's sicknesses because of it. You even made it through spending months with your parents and you haven't done that in a long time! Just remember for you and the world nothing could be as bad as COVID was when everything was shut down and stood still. It made you rethink things. Made you think what is important in this life. Made you think what things you take for granted all the time. You can get through anything because you got through COVID! Remember when you are feeling down think of the 3 important people that you always looked to for courage: your dad, your mom and your now fiance. They had every right to stop what they were doing and give up in moments of their lives but they didn't. Something your dad always use to say when he would end a prayer before you guys ate lunch or supper was this: "Lord, give me the strength so I may do you will." and you know what I think. I think God gave those 3 people that strength and courage to walk through life no matter what. So when you need courage and strength just say that short prayer your dad say/always used to say.

Love,

Your Present (2021) self
