Liz!! Hey there! Hm, well you went to westlake highschool, so I don't know if you know what Kairos is...well, either way. Its a retreat, and I got back from it on friday night. And I feel better than I ever have in my entire life, I loved it and loved it and loved it until, well, no. I haven't stopped loving it and loving most everything. My retreat will not end until I stop living by what I learned from it.
You do not need to respond or do anything, this is not a dramatic letter asking for a renewed connection or pledging some kind of undying love. This is just for you. You are truly a remarkable person. You are so grounded in your perceptions of reality it blows me away only to think about it. But the failing of many many people who are grounded in reality is their cynicism of life. You certainly have your fair share of that, we all do. At least, I know I do. But, Your cynicism I'm sure has given you so many positive as well as negative life experiences. But this is not who you are when people see you. They do not see what you may think about yourself. They don't see weakness. They don't see a cold person. They see strength. I see strength in you, from your moments of greatest joy to your moments of deepest sorrow. You are truly a strong-hearted person, and that is what people feel in you. That is why people are drawn to you. Its why I write this to you, for you. You are desperately needed by the world around you, desperately loved and cared about. Nothing can ever change the fact that you are loved by me and countless others. Know that, please know it. Live the Fourth.
Your caring friend,
Sean Farris.
