When I was about 17 years old, I started
sending ‘good morning’ text messages to a few of my friends. After a few weeks,
I added ‘good night’ messages to the mix.
A few entries are date-specific, while
others were written in the morning and others at night. A few had simply come
to me, wanting to be shared with the world.
The whole point, in my mind, was just
to put a smile on peoples’ faces. I didn’t quite realize just how big of a
smile that was, nor did I realize that I was one of the only reasons they smiled that day. That’s a really big weight to carry, especially for a
teenager.
Some asked me to discontinue texting them, but that did not mean that I had to discontinue thinking about them.
Now that I'm a little bit older, I can only hope that, with these becoming public, the words help to brighten your day, whomever you may be.
