Dear my lovely friend,

         Received your letter early this morning did not surprised me. I know as a teenager it is a natural thing to face to make us stronger to live in this world. First words come across to my mind when I read your letter is “the crisis of today is the joke of tomorrow”. It must be weird to understand this quote. How can my problem easily become a joke, right? You have to understand why this quote can give a stupid word like that. If you think more deeply about this quote it actually try to make us understand that today problem actually gives us an opportunity to improve ourselves towards a better life. I give you an example of one of my experience that can I relate with this quotes. At the time I’m ready to take a driving test, I have done a very big mistake. My car stuck at the first time I tried to drive it and it produce a very noisy sound that make people around laughter at me. It happen three times until the fourth time I’m able to drive my car. At first I think it is very embarrassed mistake and make me phobia to drive a car. But then after a year, when I become a professional driving a car suddenly it remind me about my “big mistake” and I laugh. How can I can make that stupid mistake. The answer is one, mistake are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistake for what they are. Laughing at our mistakes can lengthen our own life.

         I would love to share one lyric with you. A song sung by Michael Jackson. “You are not alone, I am here with you, though we far apart, you are always in my heart, you are not alone”. Sometimes as a teenager like us always think that our parents cannot understand our feeling very well and by holding into this negative thought give a bad influence to us. We think that our parents ignoring us but the truth is we are the one who ignoring them. Share your problem with your parents. They are always being by your side anytime you want. Give them a chance to help you. Remember they are the one who raise you from the day you can only cry until the day you can think by your own right now. There are no parents who do not love their own child. Maybe they are too busy and sometimes they do not have to sit and have a little talk with you. But it cannot be a reason you let yourself become a loner. You still have a friend you can talk to. You need to get started to share with your friends about how you feel. Try to make a friend as much as you can because without friend no one would choose to live, though they had all other goods.

         What about trying to find a new hobby? I know it can be the best idea if you want to try it. Have a walk and very nice sightseeing at a beautiful place. Maybe you can ride a bicycle to energize your body. Sweat sometimes can give us a refreshing moment. You can sleep well at night without thinking about your problem. You can also try to listen to a song that has a lyric that can give a motivational to yourself. Sometimes you have to make yourself busy doing something that can give benefits to you because when you are busy you will forget your entire problem. You have to focus on what is important in your life. You have a very long journey to go. Staying with the same problem and depression just make yourself stuck in a very hard world.

         

         I know even though I write a long letter for you, it is will not work if you yourself still do not have any effort to change. You must have faith in yourself. Believe in God. God is the best listen for us. Be thankful for what you have. All men make mistakes, but only wise men learn from their mistake. Never run, but tried to face it. It will make you stronger day by day. Do not brood over your past mistake and failures as this will fill your mind with grief, regret and depression. Do not repeat them in the future. Remember my dear lovely friend, the brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past. You cannot go on well in life until you let go your past failures and heartaches. Precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it is a fatal mistake which at least other can learn from. Last thing from me, always smile even if it is a sad smile because sadder than a sad smile is the sadness of not knowing how to smile.

Your sincerely,

Melly
