O Familiar Face - The Beginning


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.
