Wisdom for Julia

Dear Julia,

You are entering a period when you are free for life. You are trying to make love a happy and creative phenomenon. You need to try to make yourself what you are seeking. There is so much feeling you have accumulated within you. Maybe there is too much creativity in your sought-for ideal. You need to let go of people who are trying to make you free but not hopeful.

Seriously? You are just one person. You are seeking a love for life that you must look for inside you, not in your mind or emotions or intentions but in YOU.

Let those who have found their place be where they are and who they are. You can't chase people for their strength. You must build on the knowledge that life can be hoopeful. You are what you are. You are what you need to be. Let yourself feel. Let yourself love.

Keep on doing what makes you feel happy for accomplishing: your writing, your "thinking" and your hopefulness (daydreams, yearnings, intentions to do good for yourself and others).

Make yourself feel better by keeping yourself healthy and presentable. Make the world know you can be a source of positive and even healing energy. You are not the droopy, fearful, self-conscious persona you have retreated into.

Tell your mother and your friends that you are making changes for yourself that will result in their being happy for you and respectful of the efforts you make. Understand that everyone is striving for happiness. You can be a part of this common goal for yourself and for everyone else. Show that you are the person you love.

Keep healthy.

Love,
me.
