Dear Ms. Kohl,

I hope this letter finds you well.

I am writing personally to request that you stop sending checks regarding your expired credit card statement.

Thank you for your many years of patronage; however, you no longer have any outstanding debt with us.

The only debt you owe is to yourself.

As the former CEO of First National Bank, I sacrificed everything in pursuit of money. That pursuit left me so anxious about the future that I lost sight of the present. In time, I came to understand that the most precious resource we have is time—and it should not be wasted on doubts or fears.

Live your life, hold onto it, and never let go. Life is a strange and beautiful mystery, and I sincerely hope you find the inner peace to truly enjoy it.

Yours sincerely,

Michael Gorman

Former CEO, First National Bank

Prezada Senhora Kohl,

Espero que esta carta a encontre bem.

Estou escrevendo pessoalmente para solicitar que a senhora pare de enviar cheques relacionados ao extrato do seu cartão de crédito expirado.

Agradeço sinceramente por todos os anos em que foi nossa cliente, mas informo que a senhora não possui mais débitos conosco.

A única dívida que permanece é consigo mesma.

Como ex-presidente do First National Bank, posso dizer que sacrifiquei muito em nome do dinheiro. Essa busca me deixou tão ansioso pelo futuro que acabei negligenciando o presente. Com o tempo, compreendi que o recurso mais precioso que temos é o tempo — e ele não deve ser desperdiçado com fúrias ou medos.

Viva a sua vida, agarre cada momento e não o deixe escapar. A vida é um mistério ao mesmo tempo estranho e belo, e desejo sinceramente que a senhora encontre a paz interior necessária para aproveitá-la plenamente.

Com os melhores cumprimentos,

Michael Gorman

Ex-presidente do First National Bank

apesar de te evitar, eu sempre quis te fazer ficar.

acho que a minha versão favorita de você é a que existe dentro da minha mente; a que eu criei.

“I had this kind of... crisis. I was alone in the house again, lying in my bed, crying. I know everyone lies in bed crying, but... Someone said praying isn't really talking to God. It's acknowledging the despair. To throw yourself on the ground because that's all you can do. Not unlike lying with your heart broken, thinking... ‘Please, call me.’ ‘Please, forgive me.’ ‘Please, take me back.’ And… I had fucked up. And I was alone, and crying. And then, for the first time, I sat down on the floor... and prayed. I don't know who I said it to, but, I said it out loud, ‘Help me, I can't do this anymore. I can't do it alone. I want a home. I want a home.’
