Letter
Dear John Lennon,
Today you would have been 70, times are not the same as they were before. So much is happening that sometimes it feels suffocating. Death, dying, despair, that's not a very pleasant thought to have. Love is everyone. You tried to tell everyone to keep on loving and having hope. Some people don't have hope right now and it's saddening. People feel like there is no free love and the only way out is through death.
Granted I have been in that position. The need to end everything was just overwhelming. I probably wouldn't even be here if my mom didn't come home early from work. Life works in mysterious ways.
I don't know what to do. I'm not an excellent poet, artist, or orator so its not like my message or advice will really help anyone.
It frustrates me that people are losing hope. I just want to scream and yell that it will be alright. Maybe right now things looks bleak, but it will get better in time. It does get better in time. I believe it gets better in time. And sometimes the only way it gets better is for some hope.
Life is suppose to be filled with difficulties, otherwise how else would we learn anything and grow?
The reason why we cry when we are born: It's the first breathe of oxygen in our lungs. This shows that the child has vocal cords and that they are breathing correctly. It's not because children know that they are coming into a hopeless world. I don't think that's what a child is really experiencing when they come out. Bright lights, strange figures, a happy smiling mother holding you.
I'm not ready to give up yet. There is so much out there. I don't want to waste my time being depressed and cynical. I've been there and I don't want to go back. I have hope, I have faith, and I love.
Anyways this is more of a ramble instead of a nice letter to you.
Thank you John, for trying to send the message out to everyone. Thank you for existing.
