A letter for all of you
I wrote this letter in response to my own feelings. I know as well as I'm sure you all know that we all need a little encouragment along the way. This isn't really a serious piece of work, more a little...well...letter :D x. Submitted by Alicia (

Dear you (the reader),
Just thought I’d let you know how truly amazing you are. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
What I’m really trying to say is no-one in the entire world is quite like you. You are yourself – unique and perfect just the way you are!
Now I’m guessing you’re a writer, an artist, a musician or just someone who takes an interest in creativity. Well, whichever you are, I’d like you to do me a favour. Pretty please?
Don’t compare your work with others.
‘Your’ work is ‘yours’, just as original as you are. How can you generalise when everyone’s an individual and every piece of work is individual?
Don’t compromise yourself for others.
You shouldn’t have to. Why should you change to suit somebody else?
And finally; JUST BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!!! (and your work)
If you can’t, then who can, eh?
Let the world know you – and, more importantly, know yourself. And, as the saying goes...
Live
Laugh
Love
You’re amazing and don’t you ever forget it!!
Love, me (the writer) :D xx
