Challenge.05
Clinical depression is increasing at an incredible rate in the western world. Write a letter of encouragement to someone in your life that you know is going through a difficult time.

Response.02 - Dorothy T.

When I first read about this challenge, I really didn't want to do it. To buy donuts or skip a meal just seemed so much easier to me. Coming from an Asian background it is hard for me to express my feelings and even harder for to write words of encouragement in regards to someone else's feelings. I feel it is a personal problem and I was not sure if it was any of my business to comment on.

I picked one of my friends who has relationship problems. In my letter that I wrote I expressed my gratitude of her being in my life. I gave her words of encouragement that she will be able to work through her problems.

Although the letter sounds very simple, I think this will have a positive impact on my friend. I think just knowing that someone cares about you makes a person feel a little bit better. I felt very uncomfortable writing the letter, but in retrospect I think it will help me grow as an individual when I am forced to step out of my comfort zone.
