Influential Person

There are few people that really understand life and that the horrible things that happen in it don't mean that your life is going to be terrible forever. One of these people I've recently found is Miles Dyer. I have never met him and probably never will, but he's just amazing. 

Maybe it's stupid to say that someone I've never met is influencing my life, but that's the way it is. The way he can articulate these feelings that I've had and I guess knowing that I'm not the only person who has felt these terrible things before and knowing I won't be the last is comforting.

He's made me think about the way I treat the people around me and he's made me realize just how much we should be willing to risk because we aren't going to live forever and you shouldn't spend the limited time you do have on something you hate.

So, I guess this is a thank you to Miles. A thank you saying that you have inspired me and to tell you that I appreciate that you are so open because it has made me a better person. I want to thank you for reminding me that when times are rough and it may seem like the only way out is suicide, there is always the option of living. Because things do get better, eventually. It just might take a while. You've taught me a lot about myself and you've made me capable of figuring out who I want to be as I grow older. So, thank you for everything.

Love,
Natalie
