Write a letter to someone you miss right now.

Dear Raquel, To be honest, there are days that I just want to give up the friendship that we have. I am not even sure right now if I should use “have” or accept the reality that what I have before with you is no longer there anymore. Still, I know that you are also in the season of healing. And like what you did before with me, you waited. That’s why I will also wait. I will wait for that time where you will reach out to me and I will always still be here. Not the same as before but hopefully a better version of myself as times goes by. We are both growing individually. I would sometimes thank God for it, but oftentimes I would wonder why. I would wonder if it’s our choice that we ended up like this. Nonetheless, when I received a text message from you last week I was elated. Someone saw that notification also and told me to go ahead and take my time to reply first to you before going back to what we were watching.

I missed you.

I missed our storytelling moments. I miss how I can just be honest with you with everything and you will listen wholeheartedly in a brutal way also of correcting me by being sarcastic.

I hope that time will come where all our hurts are completely healed and we will meet to celebrate all He has done for us

For now, I am rooting for His best for us.

Consider it pure joy, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.

I always want to know when I’m wrong. Really. I’m aware I’m never the smartest guy in the room. I want to remain teachable. Being wrong is not the end of the world. I want to be open to a thought I’ve never had, even if it threatens what I’ve always known. Even if we disagree in the end, I want to have considered every possibility before landing on solid ground.

If there’s a better way or some angle I’m not seeing, I’d like to know. If even one percent of what we’re saying can help someone see a little further, it’s worth saying and worth learning. There’s no pride or joy in holding onto an idea just because “we’ve always done it that way.” Some convictions are lifelong and eternal, but there’s so much that is fluid and flexible.

I hope we can give someone else the chance to change their mind, too. No one gets it right every time, and almost never the first time. And I hope we can respect those who remain firm. There’s a difference between rigidness and resolve. One is stubbornness but the other is integrity. One is a wall that must be broken, and the other is a seed that must be nurtured. — J.S.
