To Whom It May Concern,

I've been running away for most of my life. Running away from the fear, from the confusion, and from the anger that comes with it all. I've been running away from my emotions, and from who I am deep down.

In quiet desperation, in excrutiating agony; I pray. I pray that someone will hear this message. I pray that someone might come to comfort me and provide me with the well-needed support.

Until recently, I've been distracting myself from the things that matter most. It was just last week when I noticed an article on mindfulness. It's a topic too difficult for me to understand on my own.

I've spent my whole life running away from the present moment. Running away from the things that matter most. Why? Why was I conditioning myself to run away, hide, and suppress my true feelings? Am I really that bad of a person?

With a burning determination, I decided to rid myself of all distractions. No phone, no T.V, no friends, no family. I burned all of my books and sold most of my belongings.

I think I'm going crazy.

So now I sit here, with this pen and this pad, writing to you about my unstable self. What will it take to drive away this luming frustration? What will it take to free myself from this incessant suffering? What must I do to calm my mind, and embrace who I truly am as a person? How can I be happy?

-Sincerely, Me.
