We sometimes feel rather lonely and long for friends, and think we’d be quite different and happier if only we found ‘it’, a friend of whom we would say, ‘this is it’.

So you have been reading old letters. I must do that, too.–Consider, old friend, that someday our letters may be published in print! At least, it would need nothing more than a premature death or two!

Letter #67

Dear Tori,

your story has really inspired me. i dont want to just be another fan saying that but its the truth. i admire the way that even when you were eliminated from american idol you stuck to what you liked to do and you let no one stop you. and i mean look at where you are today.you stuck to your passion and you made your dreams come true. someday i hope to be like you. i want to be a singer when im older and music really is my passion. i was going to try out for x factor with my friend this next season but our friendship kind of fell through and i dont think id be able to try out by myself. i know that if i want to be a singer im going to have to sing in front of people someday. i just think that what i think is good is all up in my head and that im not that good and then i dont want to make a fool of myself and aaaahhh..... i just hope to someday be like you. because i dont want to be another face in my high school yearbook. i want to be able to get over my stage fright and be able to sing in front of people and not care what they think.so i hope you read this and hopefully remember the girl from westfield indiana who made her way from westfield high school to the world. so please just make a mental note of me and hopefully someday ill get to meet you and show you that i could make it. :D

Letter #67: Accountability

Dear Ohio,

I need somebody in my mess.

Tonight, I have to send my success coach my 90 day action plan. I'm kind of excited about it. I'm excited about taking time from my day and writing down what I am going to do to accomplish my goals and when.

Usually I fly by the seat of my pants.

Planning is not my strong point, yet. However, I am getting there. Being an entrepreneur is a little challenging. When you work for someone, they give you a list of things to do. Now, I give myself a list of things to do. And who gets mad if I do not do those things? 

Nobody.

However, when I look back at the things that I want to accomplish, I get disappointed at what I have left behind. I need someone besides me to remind me of my goals. I get a little off focus sometimes. 

Ideas just pop inside my head. 

I am fine being my own boss. I guess this is a growing point. Not only knowing what I need to do, but doing it. Consistently. Not because I'll get an F on the test, or my boss will yell at me, but because I said that I would. Sometimes I feel like I'm growing too slow. 

It feels good.

I am taking control of my life and what happens in it. I will wake up with direction and be able to see into my life 3 months from now. If things do not happen for me, it will not be because I did not work for them, or plan for them.

I'm ready.

Please continue to pray for me as I grow on.  

I hope you live before you die,

Antoine Edmonson
