It’s 2025.
You made it this far. I bet there were more than a few times in ‘24 that you weren’t sure you would. But look at you, here, surviving.
You badass.
I don’t know what your plans are for 2025. Hell, you may not even be the type to make plans based on an arbitrary calendar date and that’s okay. I just hope that some part of whatever you do in the coming days, weeks, months includes taking some time to do those little things that make you smile. You deserve to smile. Plus, you have a truly great smile. No really, you light up a room with that grin. I know that when I see you smile I feel warm inside. It’s like this little manifestation of joy that’s infectious.
But Rudy, you’ve never actually met me or seen me smile.
Are you sure? I see people I don’t know every single day and a lot of times their smile sets me floating. At some point you could have been that smiling person.
Anyway, I just needed to let you know that I am so glad you’re a part of my journey. You make this world of mine a little better.
I don’t care that I’ve never met you. If you’re reading this then you’re a part of my journey just like I’m now a part of yours. And if you’re still reading this far along then I figure I must have written something that resonates with you and that makes me feel like maybe I’m doing something right. And who doesn’t like feeling like they’ve done something good in the world? So you see, you’re reading my words and that makes me happy so, you make me happy.
So, thanks for that.
And if in the coming year you find yourself in some dark place in your head try and remember that there is one guy in Paris who is really pulling for you. He believes in you. And he really wants you to have a beautiful life because that is what you deserve.
Okay, I have to get out of here now. Keep your head up til next time. Remember to drink lots of water and try to eat a veggie.
I love you and I believe in you.
