The New Me

 June 2, 1998

Alright, if you are now reading this it is because I consider you to have been a large part of my life for the past year or more. All I want to say is thank you to those of you who have given me the new look on life that I am now taking. I know that I have done many things in the past. I'm not sure how long that I have hurt you all very deeply. That is why with this letter comes a new me, and a new look on life.

Before I leave I want to say a few things that people have told me in the past few months that I found today. First off I found a letter that had never been opened over at the other house. Its contents were amazing, and I would like to share them with you.

"It's just crazy, the way life goes. It's some psycho plan of an insane man, a twisted joke that few find humorous. It's just too weird. Sometimes life is a round room with no gravity and nothing to hold on to, where we just fly out of control and laugh away. And sometimes life is a free fall, with so much direction there is no choice, no way to slow down. You can never tell how close the ground is. And sometimes life is a straight line so stable but always on the move. You can always see ahead whether you care or not about what's coming. Life can only be one thing."

I also found a card that I received last January:

Be mature enough to realize you still have a lot to learn.

Be wise enough to know respect is something you earn.

Be patient with your parents, with yourself and others too.

Be the best that you can be and life will give it's best to you.

In conclusion I want to thank God for giving me a second chance at life and letting me wait so long to decide to start. I was told I am the kind of person that one would not soon forget. Please remember the good things of the old me and let me introduce the new.

Sincerely and with love,

For A Moment

To Rita, I know you're out there somewhere, existing without me, and it hurts. Never did I imagine it would come to this, having to exist without you. You were my best friend, so you said. But where are you now? I know you still think of me. I hope you think of me, like I still think of you. Love never ceases to exist, no matter how bad the hurt may be. I know I betrayed your trust. I lied to you. I guess once is all it takes to break the trust. I don't expect you to trust me again, but please believe me when I say, I love you and I always will. So goodbye for now, I hope someday I'll see you, even for a moment, you have no idea how happy that would make me. If you could only see me now, maybe, just maybe, you could listen and believe me when I say, I love you. I love you.  Ryan

Soul Is Undone

Dear Ryan, I've got so many things to say to you, I don't know where to start. I guess it's best to start from my heart. I forgive you, despite everything we've been through. I know we put each other through heaven and hell together. We were extreme lovers, the highest of high's and the lowest of low's. It seems our flames burned so hot that it was only a matter of time before we completely burned each other out. No regrets, the fire was worth the burning. After all, I think that's all I'll say. Except of course, that I'll love you forever, until my soul is undone in the life after this.  Jonah

Take A Breath

 Ryan,  The hardest thing you’ll ever have to do is believe in yourself again after everything’s fallen apart.⁠ When life shakes you like that, it’s easy to lose your faith. In yourself. In people. In the path you are on.⁠ It gets quiet, heavy and lonely. It can feel like no one really sees or understands what you’re going through. I need you to hear me on this.⁠ There’s still something in you that hasn’t quit. That light, it’s never gone out, it’s never left you. It’s always been there when you need it the most.⁠ ⁠You can call it hope, or strength, or stubbornness. I’ve called it resilience, and it’s gotten me through hell.⁠ You don’t have to figure everything out. Just get quiet enough to remember who you are. That will take you where you need to go. Who you are has helped you get through every single thing that’s ever come your way.⁠ You’ve made it this far, that counts, that matters.⁠ So take a breath. Then just find one reason to keep going and hold onto that. That’s will...
