To whom it may concern:
The first thing I should tell you is that I am not a writer.
I have absolutely no writing experience whatsoever. Now, I know this doesn’t
help my cause but you must understand that up until this moment I’ve never
written for anyone but myself. I write for the release. The catharsis. It’s beautiful and it’s
brief, just like everything wonderful in this world. So if you may, please
indulge me and give me just a few minutes of your time.
I’m a lover of words and I’m a believer in love, that’s just
about everything you need to know about me. If I may quote
Albert E. “I have no special talents, I am only passionately curious.”
Do you ever catch yourself in that moment where you ask if
this is it? Is this what life is all about, because I want to know. What the
hell are we doing here? I’m young and I’m hungry and I’m ready for my chance. I
want my 15 minutes of fame and I want to have a perfect hair day when it
happens.
We’re a little off the beaten path, but here we are. I’ve watched the minutes fall off the
clock and I’ve watched the days fall off the calendar, and I’m still waiting
for that moment of clarity.
We are right there and I know you can feel it too. “My heart yearns for
something which I do not know.”
There are not many things which I am certain of, but I know
that time is going quickly now. I’ve tried to slow it down, I’ve tried
everything I know, but it’s not going to happen. Time is flying, and there’s
nothing you can do to stop it. Make sure you make the days count, because how
we spend our days is truly how we spend our lives. It’s tragic and it’s simple
but I’m afraid it’s the truth.
If you want something in this world you have to try and take
it. If it didn’t happen, then you didn’t want it badly enough, and that’s the
hard truth. Speak now in hard words and by damn speak it again. Time is a
precious, precious thing, and we really can’t afford to waste a minute not
moving towards the right direction.
If you didn’t already know, the world steps aside for people who know
where they are going.
I will leave you with one parting thought, and damn I hope I
can make it count. What if I told you that you are everything you think you
are? You are beautiful and you are capable, and you are ready. It’s just a
matter of effort now. Sometimes people need to hear that. I know I do. “They
can because they think they can.” If you want something to happen that never
happened you need to do something that you’ve never done. I want you to let
that resonate for a minute. A lot of people have this giant misconception that change
is a grand event. It’s not. It starts with the smallest of steps, and the timing
has never been better. Your moment is now, and it's been waiting forever for you.
Thank you for your time, you’ve been wonderful tonight.
Dorian
