Thank you for sharing this. As we go through life it is important to remember that we can control what we can control and the rest we can let go to blind faith. If you continue to breathe life into doubt or a negative experience it can feel like a curse. Cut off any energy put towards it and move your focus elsewhere. There are plenty of positives to tap into to fill the voids. Opening yourself up is worth the risk to get the reward. If you keep good company on your journey through life, it won’t be in passing because you’ll walk together in harmony. Wretched things are life lessons to teach us appreciation of all the beautiful things. Don’t let the negative be self inflicted but be human enough to forgive yourself too. Live with a special purpose and you will live that life you deserve inspiring others along the way.

I’m at a loss for words to describe the depths of evil for these murders of innocent people. I can’t comprehend humans committing these acts against other humans. Why with all the prayers that happen worldwide daily do things like this even happen? Please stay safe from these protests and God help the Middle East with everything you have.

Thank you Mavis for your kind words this evening. I’m thankful you read my letter and it had a positive effect on your day. Thank you for being an active member of this community.

I didn’t know Twitch at all to be honest. I stay in touch with current pop culture as much as possible. I’ve learned as much as people say you get older and out of touch. I say no you get busier and have different priorities or other things absorbing your attention. So I didn’t know the impact he had on others but respect that he maximized the gifts he was blessed with but possibly sacrificed mental health for career greatness. I think American culture has us feeling we need to get more out of our minutes, hours, and days. Efficiency is to be maximized in the business world but also kids now are managed that way at such a young age. I hope his work load was not a main reason for his breakdown of his well being. Even the ones that do what they love can get burned out. We all need that nothing on the schedule and some you time. I hope that his wife can find peace knowing that what he must have went through to make the choice he did can’t bother him anymore. Victoria, thank you for sharing how his life and impacted yours.

Kanani, Thank you for taking time to read my letter and respond. I appreciate your kind words. All life events have value and for me it was important to share this with our community because if my story helps even one person by making them think then it’s totally worthy. Perspective is such a great tool to have. Thank you again!

Welcome Hannah!

I’m glad you’ve chosen to join The Unsealed to be a part of of this special community of people. I want to personally thank you for trusting Lauren and our group with your story. That’s the immediate thing you’ll notice is trust throughly genuinely caring and respecting what you share with us. The more I hear and read from others the more welcome I feel because you feel inclusion by understanding many of us have been through a lot in our lives and how we handled our individual situations. There’s a lot to learn here so my advice is to keep writing and attend the Zoom meetings. If you’re not comfortable on camera then just be a fly on the wall in listen. It’s worth it, I promise! Everybody starts somewhere and that’s perfectly ok. I offer you my support and let me know what I can do to help. Take care and I look forward to getting to know more of your story.

Alicia,

I definitely felt that struggle in your words in your letter. Your story hits home more than you know and has challenged me to think which I appreciate. You mentioned feeling selfish at that time. If you look at any great person they’ve separated themselves from being average because of the sacrifices they’ve made. That’s why you’ve heard the saying it’s lonely at the top. You have to be a little selfish to get there. There’s nothing wrong with that. You bet on you and won. The person of your future will need to accept that part of you and back you to allow you to grow on your own too. Some people are meant to be lead singers and some are meant to play in a band. You’re designed with the mindset to do both. May your future music be nothing but harmony when you finally sing that duet of your dreams. 🎵 🎤

Alicia,

I applaud you for making not the right decision, not the wrong decision but the best decision for YOUR life. You analyzed the level of depth that was lacking in your relationship that wasn’t there. You knew what makes you happy and you found yourself still searching. The power and courage it takes to let go of someone rather than to hold on to someone that might change is very brave. I’d say a majority of people stay together to avoid being alone because it’s better than the alternative but you took control of your future because you believe that whole love exists and it damn sure does. Don’t settle for less. Deep connections are the best and most authentic connections you’ll ever have. You’ll find your prince and then your fantasy will become your reality. You will get there! #Believe 🙏🏻

Super kind of you to say Kayjah. I would like to say that my sister didn’t get to finish her goal of graduating from Xavier University. Knowing that you our working on your own college courses towards your degree brings great joy. Appreciate each day you wake and go out there and get want you want out of life. I’m proud to know you and look forward to watching your professional journey grow!

Catherine, your story was impressive. It’s not surprising that if the examples of your life experiences aren’t on tv how that would make your challenges harder and more lonely. I can’t imagine that feeling of isolation. Thank you for sharing this with us. I hope your career can lead you in the path to allow you to shed more light for more people who are the younger versions of yourself and can be more comfortable in their own skin. 🙏🏻
