dear dan, i do not know everything in life, neither do i claim to. i do not have the answer to everything, neither do i pretend to. but life has taught me a lot of things. it taught me that it's always going to be hard, it's always going to be an uphill battle, life is never going to be on your side. i don't know a lot of things, but i do know this. for every moment that i am living, breathing, being, i am grateful. i am grateful that i was given a life, no matter how difficult it may be. there are people in this world who wish for half the things we have. now i'm not saying it's easy, because let's face it, it's never going to be. what i am saying, is that you have the power to change your life. rain or shine, it's all in your hands.
dear dan, it's never going to be easy; it's always going to be hard. but please, please, for heaven's sake this is my plea: please don't give up on me now.
