Dear Stranger, I wish you love and I wish you warmth. I wish you books and I wish you brunch. Candles and cuddles, sunny skies, those twinkling eyes. A light breeze or gentle drizzle; Starry nights with someone to hold tight. Desert sunsets, blooming flowers. Adventure that leaves you feeling empowered. I wish you purpose, and a passion to fuel your fire. A sense of belonging, and fulfillment of your innermost desire. The courage to chase your dreams and conquer your demons. Failure is temporary while regret may last a lifetime. But this is your time—so if you’d like, I wish you forever. I wish you well. -Friend Anonymous Poem & Photograph THRIVE 2018 15
