Living life as it comes
It’s been on my mind a lot lately, this idea of making the world a better place. And it’s not really a new subject on this site anyway. We’ve talked about kindness (here), being a good person (here), as well as educating yourself and speaking up against injustice (which you can find here). But making the world a better place is a broad topic. And as such, there’s obviously more to the concept.

Today, we’re wrapping up our letter-writing extravaganza, or at least for the foreseeable future. I hope that I’ve given you a helpful concept to play around with, and that you write your own letters. Letters that I’ve suggested, but also letters of your own, that are undeniably valuable and that I would have never had the details to suggest to you. If you’re not familiar with this concept and this is your first time here, you can go back and read the initial concept of this series here. Or you can go to any one of these posts for a suggestion of a letter to write to help you work through your thoughts and emotions, as well as leave this world a brighter place. (1 2 3 4 5 6 7)

Welcome back, it’s letter writing time again! We’ve talked about the point of writing these letters (which you can find here), and our last exploration was of writing a letter to an old mentor of yours (which you can read by clicking here). We’ve also talked about writing a letter to your past self (find that one here). And today, we’re doing another twist on that. We’re writing a letter to our future selves!

Now, if you’re new to letter writing as a therapeutic concept, I’d encourage you to go to my introductory post to this idea, by clicking here. Last time, we talked about writing to your future self (click here to read), and today, we’re tackling a heavy one. Grief. More specifically, we’re writing a letter to someone who has passed on.

The last letter we explored was a light-hearted one, a letter to an old friend. You can find that post here. And today, we’re talking about former mentors!

I’m taking a slight break from the letter writing for a moment here, for a very good reason. Because the world is hurting right now. In many ways, it’s not a new pain. But there is hurt. There is fear, unrest and ignorance.

I can’t stand people who are condescending to the mentally ill. They say things like “can’t you just get over it?” and “you’re overreacting, chill out.” These are people who either lack empathy or have no idea what it’s like to have your mind betray you at every turn. And something these people often imply is that you can just choose to be okay when you’re not. So today let’s look at that. Is it true?
