Dear child,

In life you will run into speed bumps, walls, forks in the road. Sometimes you will feel like giving up. You will feel like all hope is lost. Even like you can’t move on or go on. You’ll feel like shit, depressed and motiveless. You blame yourself for it all and you will hate yourself. You will be mad at yourself. Just know that these things are a natural course of life. You will be alright, you will move on. You will be able to be happy and escape stress and depression. You will overcome great odds. You will succeed. You will find the passion that will drive the rest of your life. You will find your destiny. You will be happy. This is only temporary and lasts as long as you want it to. Keep your head up.

Love,

Dad
