Dear friend

SofiaStardust February 22nd, 2021

Dear friend,


It is okay.
Hey, don't worry. Look at me.
All this pain, all this work, all this mix of feelings; it is all going to be worth it. THAT is what makes you, you.
Please smile. Come on, smile. Wow! How can you be so gorgeous? Look at you in the mirror. You look better with a smile right there, don't you?

"Dear friend" is a new Thread I created so that anyone who wants to, writes a letter to a friend. It can be written to a friend who is feeling low, a friend you miss, a friend you want to make laugh... it is up to the writer. My goal is to make people who read the posts feel better. I will be writing some letters myself. I hope you like them!

Sincerely, your friend Sofia.

Dear friend,


It is okay, it is okay to feel this way.
All this pain, all this work, all this mix of feelings; it is all going to be worth it. THAT is what makes you, you.
If it weren't for all the heartbreaks or crying nights, you wouldn't be as strong and beautiful as you are now.
If it weren't for all those angry shouts and depressed afternoons, you wouldn't have learned the lesson to know how to overcome it.
If it weren't for those times you were not feeling anything at all, you wouldn't have noticed that you were going through something new in your life.
Oh, friend. We all have felt this way.
You are not alone and will never be.
You have me; I am always here to listen.
I want to see you smile. Come on, smile. Wow! How can you be so gorgeous? Look at you in the mirror. You look better with a smile right there, don't you?
Now shake all your worries away. And finally: remember that you are amazing.

Sincerely, your friend Sofia.

@SofiaStardust- what a lovely idea. An extension of the step in member's pathway- one of my favorites.

Dear friend,

Yesterday I was looking up at the stars. I remembered that night we were at your house, laughing nonstop, talking about experiences we had lived. Before you fell asleep, you smiled at me and told me “I love you best friend”. I replied “I love you too”. Just now I realize, our love was true love.

You don’t need to have a boyfriend or girlfriend to feel loved.

You don’t need to have a crush on someone to be happy.

You don’t need a husband or wife to feel you will have someone by your side.

Start with friendship, and you can feel all these things. Look back at our memories. Do you feel happy? Do you feel loved?

Oh, friend. I miss you so much.

We can’t turn back the clock and be as close as we used to, but we have the present, and there’s nothing else we need. Our friendship can keep growing.

So please don’t forget that I love you.

And don’t forget that you’re amazing.

Sincerely, your friend Sofia.

Dear friend,

You've been feeling low these last days, and you are keeping your feelings to yourself. I just want you to know that I am here for you.
We all are.
I know how hard it's for you to wake up every morning.
I know how hard it's for you when you feel lonely.
Dear friend, relax.
Breathe in...
breathe out...
Shout your feelings if you want
Or even write them down;
I just want you to feel better.
And to let you know that you're amazing.

Sincerely, your friend Sofia.
