| Two years ago, a friend of mine challenge me to write a letter to myself older self. I chose to write a letter two years from the date May 23rd, 2016. At the time I was very depressed and just tired. Writing is the only thing that gave me hope It was never intended to be seen by anyone, but I think it’s important to be transparent and use your voice. So, here it is unedited and everything:”May 23, 2016
Dear Prince, A lot has transpired over the past three years. You lost Shari, moved out on your own and probably most importantly came out as your true self. I don’t really know where you are now, but I pray your happy. I know you better than anyone and sometimes you’re hard on your self. As we know you’re strong and will conqouer (You spelled that wrong!) through. Remember the things you have acomplished. Like, moving out on your own, starting your production company and producing plays. Things take time and that is so important to remember. Right now your love life is kinda non existent and you don’t really have the things you desire. But, you have friends and family who love you. Most importantly, you have ATC. A lot of people will never receive an ounce of the love you’ve received. So in conclusion, know you’re blessed! Things are coming. I know because we’ve prayed for them. Keep your faith and your positivity. Because, it’s not just you in this; people count on you. Let your light shine. Embrace yourself, even your disablements. It’s what makes you, you! Don’t forget that. Keep writing. No matter what! Writing may be the most powerful tool God has given you. Don’t write for money, people or fame, but you. And only you. I hope you dance humbly in your current acomplishments (Spelled that wrong too.). Remember that young boy that watched Diary Of A Mad Black Woman at The Music Hall. Coming in at intermission with Mama. Remember the passion that performance gave you and the undescrible feeling whenever you enter an performance space. You’re not in this alone and as long as you have love and Jesus, You got the world! Love, Yourself!” I pray in someway it helped you. Remember that things get better. I am very happy to say that now, I feel better than ever. I’ll be back soon with some announcements.
