6. one to each of your parents
7. Your siblings
8. Someone you've hurt
9. Someone you dont understand
10. Someone deceased
11. The person you would want to take care of your children if you and your spouse are no longer alive.
12. Your best girlfriend
13. Your dreams
14. Someone you dont talk to as much as you would like
15. Your 13 year old self
16. The person you miss the most
17. Someone you know who is going through the worst of times
18. Someone who caused someone you love (not you) a lot of pain during their childhood
19. Someone that changed your life
20. Your reflection in the mirror.
Well I wont do one a day, I will be lucky if I do one a month. But I am going to do it! We will start today:

Dear Stranger,
I hope I find you in a happy place. Lately, I have been thinking so much about how incredibly happy I am. I am so extremely lucky. I feel that I have always been happy, sometimes just happier than others. I know that my choices determine my happiness. Being happy is definitely a choice. I now know how to be happy. Since I dont know you I can tell you how to be happy:
Cherish all the small things. We make life so complicated. It wasnt meant to be complicated.
Love. Love everyone around you. Learn how to love those you dont know. Tell your family everyday that you love them.
Standards. Set your standards high and dont let up on them. You are in control of yourself. Always be the person that your mother would want you to be.
Believe. Believe in something bigger. Heavenly Father is my biggest strength and support. He is my light. Believe in his gospel, communicate with Him multiple times a day. What is a greater feeling than knowing you are His child. He loves you. He wants to hear from you. He wants to guide you because He truly knows what is best. He comforts, He loves, He answers, He does everything that not one person can give you.
Be yourself. This was hard for me, especially through my awkward high school days. I wanted to know who I was but I didnt. I wanted to be that person that everyone else was. When I truly decided to be me, I was happy.
Serve. If you ever feel down, do something for someone else. If you ever feel bad feelings toward someone, serve them. We learn to love through serving.
Laugh. Everyday. Lighten up. Let the little things go.
Dont critisize. Nobody is not good enough.
Love yourself. Know that you are perfect because Heavenly Father doesnt make mistakes. He wanted you to be how you are, so embrace it.

If I didnt find you in a happy place, I hope you can get there.

Love,
Me
