Dear Conscious Self,

I hope you’ve been doing well, it’s been a while since I wrote and I guess as usual you’ll displace this as another one of your drunken writings but I truly do hope you read this letter to the end as it once again contains my deepest wishes which I truly hope you’d consider. I have a bunch but for simplicity sake I guess I’ll go with five.

I wish for me (you) to go out a little more. Spending the entire day gaming and writing isn’t honestly that bad and could be called the dream life for a lot of people but the scent of fresh air and the beautiful sceneries the city has to offer isn’t something a cramped room can compete with plus it’s important for recharging.

My second wish would be for you to pick up a new hobby, say swimming, dancing, singing or some form of art. Sure you might argue gaming or writing is a hobby enough but I’d really love for you to have something else you truly enjoy and revel in.

I really hope you’d grant me this one, I wish you would stop thinking too much about everything. Imagining near infinite scenarios of something doesn’t make it any easier and even anything does the opposite, overly complicate it. You’ve missed so many good opportunities and prime moments by overthinking and clouding your mind with impossible ifs. I’d love if you tried to keep your mind open and free.

Moving on I truly wish you could be a little bit more confident in yourself, you have the looks of a super star. It’s quite tragic that you didn’t realize sooner that the reason you got bullied a lot wasn’t because there was something wrong with you but rather because they were jealous you had a lot of things they didn’t, a nice body, a beautiful smile, a happy home and let’s not forget Elia, your snow-coated feline friend. I truly wish you’d let your personality shine a bit more.

I know this would be the hardest of it all but I truly wish you’d forgive yourself for what happened those years ago. The echoes of anguish, pain and agony that ripple nearly every night have been tearing you apart for so long and it’s time to move on. It wasn’t your fault, you couldn’t you have done anything to stop it and I wish you’d stop beating yourself so much over it. It’s hindered you from achieving so much and regaining your happiness.

 I have a lot more I’d love to wish for but it seems I’m running out of time anyway, remember that I want what’s not best for us but for you. I’m merely a wisp of you that’s hoping to heal and finally get your life back on track. I hope you’ll consider these few wishes of mine and next time I write it would be for thanks

Yours Sincerely

You
