Write a letter to someone you love.
In life you do need to have fun, have a good time. But you need to be kind to others, love, help, and appreciate. A few nights ago I sat down and wrote a letter to my grandmother telling her how much I love her and that I don’t know what I would do without her. I listed reasons why I love her so much and how I appreciate her. And a lot of the time, I hate to admit it, I take advantage of her. I made a promise in the letter to help her out more. (And please, before you turn completely against me for “taking advantage of an old woman”, she’s only 56 years old.)
When you write a letter to someone you love, you can do the same thing I did. Tell them how much they mean to you and why. Tell them what you’re willing to do for them. Then you can either mail them the letter, or if possible, give it to them in person. I’m still deciding what to do with my grandmother’s.
TIP: Write the date of the day you wrote it at the top of the letter.
I am not always the nicest I can be to other people, my family and friends included. Sometimes I insult or use people. I do NOT want to be that way. Life really is short. You want to show people you care about them and make people feel loved. Sometimes I have days where I’m down and depressed and I wish people would do it for me. That’s not a sob story, though. I’m saying I never want anyone else I love to feel that way.
You can also write a letter to someone you don’t know. It can be an elderly person in a home, a person with a mental or physical illness. It could also be someone in jail, but of course, even though I’m trying to be nice to people, I do not want to be nice to murderers, molesters, rapists, or anyone who has harmed little children. I’m already upset enough over some articles I’ve read lately.
Well, I’m getting off topic. What I’m trying to say is, make sure everyone you love knows how much you actually love and appreciate and care about them. Write them a letter – it’s really not that hard. The world is full of so much hate and pain every single day, but we can try our best to ease a little of that, can’t we?
