Note: this is an email letter that I sent to friends/family. -gmb
Let's MAKE it better:
Please feel free to forward (or delete...or whatever!) I just was thinking and wanted to send a quick note. (And please forward on to any "kids" that have been in my classes/theater stuff that aren't on this list! I was just trying to send this quickly and know I've missed a lot of people! And some are not on my friend list.)
ANYWAY!!! I've been thinking (again...and more) about life and death and the cycle of Be-ing that we play in the cycle. We're all going to die some day. And we're all going to grieve someone's passing before we go.
But, I want to encourage all of you. Continue being the Beautiful YOU that you are. Continue connecting to the people around you. Continue experiencing life. Continue reaching out with love to those around you. Continue growing into the best version of you that you can be!
And, when you hit those patches in life that feel like you are staring into an abyss of absolute despair and darkness and pain in the pit of your stomach that is never going to get better and stress is making you break out in hives and migraines are probably going to keep you in bed forever and a day and food tastes horrible and you know you should drink some water but dammit that means moving 5 feet from where you currently are.......
PLEASE REMEMBER:THERE ARE PEOPLE ROOTING FOR YOU! There are people willing to help carry the load! There are people who really do know what the heck you're experiencing. And there are people who truly, truly love you and would move mountains for you.
This is a step beyond, "It gets better."
This is "Let's MAKE it better."
I pledge to make it better. I pledge to make it better with YOU. It won't always be easy. As a matter of fact, there will be times that it is downright ... icky. But I promise you, I will stand up for making it better. I will stand shoulder to shoulder with you to make it better. I will fight for my connection to you. I will share the love that I carry with those I come in contact with.
And that, my dear loves, is my pledge to you.
