“The moon isn’t shining as brightly anymore.

Hi Jin

This isn’t a question, only a message to you after reading your mcr quote post.

All of your posts really do inspire and help others and it’s just so nice of you to reach out to everyone and try to do all you can to help others. It may seem crazy for you to think this but the strength and hope and inspiration that you seem to draw from mcr is how so many people see you for themselves. In my eyes you are more like a celebrity or idol that I will probably never get the chance to meet but you share so much that it gives me a chance to feel connected to you even without knowing you. I look to you for inspiration when I’m overworked, a positive outlook when I’m feeling down or just to smile at some of your more random posts. Don’t feel pressured that I look to you for so much as you give it all without even trying just by sharing snippets of your life and random tweets like the breaking dawn commentary! ;)

All your posts are so positive and uplifting that they remind me to appreciate those around me and to look for the good things in life instead of dwelling on the bad. I have suffered from depression in the past as I did spend too much time thinking about things that had already happened instead of looking to the future and living life to the fullest. Whenever I read your words I always end up smiling. I don’t like to message you too much as I feel like a broken record trying to describe how much of an inspiration you are to me. I could never reach as many people as you do but your words usually make me strive to make a difference to those around me that I can help. They make me appreciate my friends more and think about how I can help make them smile. When I’m stressed and feel overwhelmed by mundane burdens at work I usually notice something creative you have posted and I remember that I have an outlet and I should ensure to make time for the things I enjoy.

Whenever I try and write things like this I think it always sounds like I rely on you for too many things. You are my biggest inspiration and I do idolise you but it’s impossible not to. You seem to have such a big heart that is always willing to help those around you as well as anyone that asks you for help. You try your best to do all you can for everyone and even without trying you are there for so many more people as well. If I could just be an ounce of the person you are then it would be an honour.

I hope your posts also achieve what they originally set out to do as well and provide you with happiness through memories. Thank you for sharing as much as you do.

Keep smiling. Keep being you. And for as long as it isn’t a burden to yourself, please keep sharing.

Thank you for everything,

Rachel

I just spent the day designing someone elses wedding invitations when all I could think about was the fact that I just want to design my own.
