Spirit Raven

Dear Spirit Raven,

What is there that I know and you do not? Nothing, I suppose; I am but a thirteen-year-old girl that isn't in love but isn't out of it, either. Somehow, when you're getting married at 61, I think you know that the person you are with will love you forever. Somehow, I think you know you're going to get old together.

Do you have that feeling? I hope you do. Because everyone and everything in this world deserves to know that someone loves them that much. I hope to meet that special someone too, someday.

Are you excited? I would be, too. I would be nervous. You've obviously changed since you were 24, both spiritually, mentally and physically. You want to know what it's like to be married, since you haven't been so since you were 24. It's different when you're getting older and entering menopause.

As I said, what is there that I know and you do not? You've probably lived a similar life to mine and longer. I can just offer my short advice and tell you one thing: even though I haven't been on this Earth for a long time, I know that knowing your purpose makes the experience much better. You have but to find your purpose, why were you put on this Earth, and all of the puzzle pieces of your life come together.

Me? Of my purpose, I haven't the slightest idea. But that is my advice to you. And finally, to live life like it's going to end tomorrow. (Also, my mother says to not to assume things about people. It's her favourite advice ) Because you never know. When you decide not to go see your granddaughter, do you know whether you'll see her again? Or when you say, "No, I don't want to go skydiving", do you really know whether you've tried everything and thus, lived a full life (cliche', I know)? No, you don't. Because you never did go skydiving.

Love,
Julia

(PS: Live without reservations. Congratulations on getting married soon!)

Author notes

hope you enjoyed this letter. I know I'm just a kid but I hope I did what you wanted me to. I don't know who you are or what you're like, but if that helped your current state of mind I'm happy.

    WOW

    I don't know how to express my feelings. This is such a beautiful letter. Being a kid does not mean you can not express the most beautiful words. Honey, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this.

      you're welcome. I guess I just needed to express things that I'd been keeping inside for a while, and writing this letter to you really helped and I hope it helped you. As I said, I'm just a kid. But what I think is that maybe, if I say what I want to say, someone out there will hear it.

      thank you so much for gold! Congratulations again on getting married! It's a beautiful thing
