30 Days, 30 Letters: Part 4

Dear Blog,

This is Part 4 of the "30 Days, 30 Letters" endeavor.

Day 24 — The Person That Gave You Your Favorite Memory

Dear George Lucas,

Thank you for creating Star Wars. Seeing Star Wars for the first time was a magical feeling. The whole world you created spoke to me. It lit a path to the kind of person I am today. If I had never seen Star Wars, I would be a radically different person typing these blogs. You helped me have some of the best memories of my life. Sure, reunions with friends are always lovely, seeing fantastic locales throughout my life is wonderful, the plethora of toys and games brings a smile to my face, and so many little things that I appreciate are grand. But seeing Star Wars is a landmark in my life.
Thank you for imagining greater and pursuing your dreams.
-Daniel

Day 25 — The Person You Know That is Going Through the Worst of Times

Dear World,

War. Disease. Famine. Fear.
I'm just a man. A boy. One person. I can do my best to help, but I won't cure your ailments. I hear you crying. But I think my lullaby is too soft. I will keep singing. One voice to soothe a part of you. But I can't solve everything. I'm sorry.
I'm so so sorry.
-Daniel

Day 26 — The Last Person You Made a Pinky Promise To

Dear Nikki,

You are probably the last person I made a pinky promise to. I don't know what I promised to do, but it doesn't matter all that much. Just remember that you're my best friend. I'm not entirely sure how. But I won't argue it.
I'm just glad I'm your best friend, too.
-Daniel

Day 27 — The Friendliest Person You Knew for Only One Day

Dear You,

I don't know what to say, other than thank you. My heart is happier because of you.
And it's a wonderful secret.
-Daniel

Day 28 — Someone That Changed Your Life

Dear Mr. Beattie,

I am a geek. I will always be a geek. But thanks to you, I am a geek that can showcase my talents to an audience. I don't know how you did it, but you got me to break from the self-imposed introverted shell I was in and expand onto the stage and perform the greatest role of all: myself. Thank you so much for giving me the medium to learn about myself. I wouldn't be an RA if not for you. I wouldn't have chosen this college if it weren't for you. I weren't have made the friends I did if it weren't for you. You made my life radically different by helping me tap into the unlimited imagination I held within myself. You changed my life for the better.
Mr. Mike Beattie, may you live long and prosper.
-Daniel

Day 29 — The Person That You Want Tell Everything To, But Too Afraid To

Dear Love,

One day I will meet you. One day I will marry you. One day I will tell you nearly everything I can about everything in my life. But love, it will not be everything. I will keep something from you. I will be too afraid to tell you. It's nothing against you. I will love you. But this is too much for you to bear. It's not a long story, it's a hidden past. It's just a thought. And if I told you, it probably wouldn't affect us. But it will stay a secret.
I am sorry, but this is how I am.
-Daniel

Day 30 — Your Reflection in the Mirror

Dear Daniel,

You are very loved. People do love you. You are cared about and cared for. You will never be alone. You are such a wonderful person. You are very kind, quite smart, and so helpful. You reach out your hand as often as you can. You are genuine. You are funny. You are creative. You are fantastic. You are a geek. You are the reason some people smile. Your eyes are full of life. You have a life ahead of you. You are hardworking, loyal, and so so patient. You don't need to change, you just need to grow. Experience is valuable and yours to own. You are a great person, Daniel.
Just... be careful.
-Daniel
