To the ones struggling to keep up with their mental health
To the ones struggling to keep up with their mental health, I would be lying if I say I understand what you’re feeling because I don’t. I don’t know exactly what you’re feeling but I know you’re filled with emotions, with feelings you can’t seem to express and I know you’ve been exhausted altogether. I know you have this urge to make yourself ‘fixable’ but let me tell you, you don’t need to fix yourself. You are beautiful in your deeds, in the way you treat others and you’re going to be better at it. I know you’ve been trying really hard to not feel whatever you’re feeling and to get the lost sparkle back and I even know that it doesn’t come easy. I just want you to know that you'll be okay. Everything will fall in place. Sending you all the love and faith. From, Someone who has been feeling way too much lately

To the girl who hasn't been herself lately
To the girl who hasn’t been herself lately, I know how it feels to catch yourself daydreaming and lost. I know how it feels to feel how you’ve been feeling. I know you're trying really hard to not let your emotions overcome you and to get that lost sparkle back. And I even know that it doesn’t come easy. I know. I can feel you. No matter what are you feeling right now, I want you to stop and breathe. Breathe deep and let the negative energy pass away. Next, I want to remind you of something really important. 1. Vent out all the emotions. Cry if you feel like. Write down in a paper what you’ve been feeling. And let go of it at that point of time itself. When written in a piece of paper, it gives you clarity. 2. I want you to know that you’ll regain the sparkle. And you’ll shine that bright again. Till then you’ll have to do yourself a favour and have faith; faith in yourself. Do you understand? 3. It’s important to know yourself. It’s important to know the kind of things that stress you out and the kind of things that makes you feel home. And, it’s important to understand that you’ll be the only person for yourself. And you’ll have to do everything necessary to make yourself feel happy and peaceful. Your mental peace should be your first priority. Do anything and everything to make yourself at peace. 4. No matter what you’ve been through, I need you to believe that there are a handful of people who will love you always. ALWAYS. Make sure you speak to them and get enough of their love. 5. LOVE. Love Yourself. Forgive yourself and forgive the people who broke you within. Rekindle that love with yourself. Remember, you’re stronger than you believe and much more amazing that you’ve lately been. 6. Lastly, just to let you know, I’m proud of you. I’m proud of everything you’ve been doing to make yourself at peace and to find the lost YOU. Much happiness and pretty vibes are coming your way. Till then, Keep trying. - Someone who can feel you.

To my internet best friend
To my internet best friend, While there are many people I could have interacted with online, I guess it was a part of god’s master plans to send you in my life. I remember how all this started. You happened to drop me a message on telegram voluntarily helping me with my exam preparations and there was no looking back after that. To tell you a little secret, you are the first person I have conversed online and you made me realise how the world of internet is not so bad. From trying to know each other to late-night talks, to cracking jokes about anything and everything, to knowing our fears and to helping each other overcome it, I don’t even know when we started calling each other best friends. I have known you for about 7 months now and we haven’t met even once, but the distance has never taken a toll on us. You’re a unicorn. You never fail to amaze me with the way you look into life. You’re a person who lifted me when I lost confidence to a low key level. You were the one who motivated me every now and then and you’re the reason I am going to get into my dream college. No matter where I am in life, I will never be able to forget the love and the belief that you had for me at that point of time. You make me a better person. I hate to admit it but my eyes are holding back the tears of happiness even while I’m writing this. I feel so much blessed to have you in my life. I can’t put this feeling into words. We are some thousand miles away but you know my favorite coffee place in Kolkata and I know your love for chicken. I know how to fix your mood and so do you. I find it so much weird that though we haven’t met, we miss each other and how sometimes virtual hugs and texts are enough to heal the other person. I guess, this is what they mean when they say we are emotionally connected. You’re a gem of a person. I can’t afford to lose you. Will you promise to stay by my side, always? Love and hugs, Your fav.

To the one who has been there for me since the last 15 years
To the one who has been there for me since the last 15 years, They say it well that it doesn’t really matter who came early or late in your life, what matters is who stuck through. And you’re one of them. I believe we all love people for a particular set of reasons. And given a chance to articulate, we particularly know why we love them, what makes them different and the kind of things that you learn from them. Saumya, I love you for so many reasons. I love you for the kindness you have. I love you for the warmth you spread around. I love you for your big bear hugs. I love you for your utmost dedication and passion towards whatever you do. I love you for your innocence and the confidence that you radiate. I love you for taking that leap of faith and trusting yourself with your passion as a makeup artist. I love you for maintaining so much balance with people, things and experiences. I love you for what you are to me but I love you for what you are to the world as well. You’ve been there for me through all the highs and lows. Celebrating my achievements. Sticking through the right and the wrong decisions I made. And you still chose to be there for me. Saumya, we have shared too many firsts. And I am sure we are gonna stick through too many lasts too. I just want you to know that you mean the world to me and no one else can ever take your place. All the love to you until we meet again. If you're wondering what is wrong with me, I hope you know I'm as weird as you are. There are days when I miss you so much and today is one such day. Warmest, S

To Jack Pearson
Hey Jack Pearson, I’d call you by your real name, but that won’t do justice to your character, right? I just want you to know how awesome you are. And how I really want me to be you; a perfect everything. Jack, you are something. You are something so special and just so beautiful. When I saw your house getting burnt, for a while I felt that my house is getting burnt. You know that feeling of attachment. I felt I have been a part of your life all these while. And when you died, I don’t know if you believe me, but I couldn’t stop crying. It was like an important person of my life has been taken away. I love you, Jack. I love you for the perfect person you have been. I love you for all the love you have spread around, To Randal, and Kate and everybody. This is a little personal, but I’d like you to know. Every time when you say, “I Love you, Bec.” I find you super cute. It’s a wonder to know that you don’t hesitate even for a while to tell her how much you adore her. Remember every time Kate doesn’t feel okay, you’ve always been there to listen to her and let her speak her heart out. How can she feel a little less loved when she has you? In fact, how can anybody not feel loved, when they have you? Dear, Jack Pearson, you’re a beautiful soul. You’re a perfect father. A perfect husband. And a perfect lover. I’d never believed that perfection exists, but you proved me wrong. I love you. We all love you. And just like Rebecca, Kevin, Kate and Randall, we miss you too, sweetheart. Yours, Someone who adores you.
