Prompt: Write a letter to your younger self.
hello younger me,
don't be so afraid.
you live a good, short life.
you love. you love more people than you can count and you love so many of them with all of your heart. it's beautiful and painful and perfect, just like the first time, just like you craved from the very moment that it happened that first time. you get it all and more.
you love even when you think your heart can't take anymore. you love so many people.
and more importantly, some of these people will love you, too.
there's a big world out there waiting for you. even when you're alone, know that one day you'll be loved. i could tell you how to stop your life from being so short, but i'm not sure you'd experience the love that i've had. and we both know, no matter how afraid we may get, which is more important.
good luck. get out and face the world.
-Luke
