Dear Friend,
Hi, how are you doing? My name is Dennis High. I live here
in Rexburg Idaho
and I am going to school at BYU-Idaho. Let me tell you a little bit about who I
am. I am a dreamer. I am someone who likes to be happy and I like to make other
people happy. I am Russian. I was adopted by two great people who are loving,
weird, and amazing. I love sports. You could say I love them too much. I love
everything about them. I love the Sacramento Kings, I love the Buffalo Bills, I
love the Utah Utes, and I love the Cincinnati Reds. I love to read, and I love
to watch TV. I hate scary movies, and I love comedies. I am proud to say that I
love Dragon Ball Z, I love Naruto, I love comics like Batman and Superman. I
watch all of the animated DC movies. I love loud crazy music. It may seem weird
but it calms me. My favorite band right now is A Day To Remember. I love all
types of music I would say that country is my least favorite. I used to have
severe depression and suicidal thoughts, but those are controlled now, yet I
still have days where I struggle. I have ADHD, and it really does affect my
everyday life. I am super scatterbrained. I love gangsta rap. There isn’t many
things better than N.W.A and some Bone Thugs and Harmony. I love to read, my
favorite books are by Dan Brown. I love playing pokemon on gameboy. Silver is
my favorite. I love Pro Wrestling, Rey Mysterio is my favorite. I know it’s
fake and honestly I don’t care. I love comedy. I said earlier that I like
making people laugh and that’s true. I feel accomplished when I am able to make
people laugh and have a better day. I am way too sarcastic, and it’s something
that I am working on. I am very social yet I don’t always like to be around
people. Sometimes I like to stay by myself and not be around people. I am a
Mormon, I am proud of that, the Gospel of Jesus Christ has changed my life for
the better. I am very confident; I know what my talents are and what I lack.
Yet while I am confident I sometimes lack that confidence around women. I
consider myself a Liberal Conservative, or a libertarian. I am very pro
legalization of Marijuana. I love clothes, but I don’t like spending lot’s of
money. So you will never see me buy a ton of expensive things. I love shopping
at the DI because they have some great stuff there. I would say my favorite
piece of clothing are socks. I enjoy debating people, especially about sports.
I am not perfect, not by a long shot. Despite the confidence I have I still
struggle with self doubt. I struggle with the thought that maybe people won’t
like me, maybe I won’t be successful. I have anxiety attacks that come and for
like five minutes I will sit there just freaking out in my mind and think that
nothing is possible. Then I am able to take a deep breath and forget about that
doubt and move on with my life. I am a returned missionary, but that doesn’t
make me a good Mormon. What makes me a good Mormon is trying to be like Christ,
attending the temple, and treating everyone with love. I am very opinionated
and sometimes I can come off as mean. I stay up to late and sometimes I don’t
sleep at all, that’s what happens when your mind is going a hundred miles an
hour. I am writing this letter mostly because I want people to know who I am. I
am a nerd. I am a sports fanatic. I am an ADDer for life. I am a confident
person who struggles with self-doubt all the time. I am someone who is happy. I
am writing this for those people who feel the need to change who they are. Just
do you. Childish Gambino has a song that says “Don’t be mad cause I’m doing me
better than you doing you.” That’s great, and that’s the way I am trying to
live my life. I think you should be able to like what you want, and wear what
you want, and be who you want to be without worrying about what people say. I
am making a goal to myself to never again make fun of someone for something
that they like. It’s just one of the many things that I can do to help make
this world a little better. For anyone who is reading this, if I have ever made
you feel less than you deserve I apologize, I have no right to do that. I think
sometimes I forget how beautiful and wonderful every person in this world is.
Sometimes I forget that I am so insignificant and so imperfect. Every person in
this world deserves to be loved, I don’t care if you’re white, black,
Christian, Muslim, gay, or straight. I don’t care if you’re tall, short,
skinny, fat, gorgeous, or homely. I don’t have the right to treat you less than
the best. I challenge everyone who reads this to think about anything that they
might have said to someone that was rude or offensive and to try your best not
to do it again. I have this thing that I have lived by where I say that if I
offend you then that’s your fault. I have since changed my mind. I believe it
is possible to disagree with someone and not offend them. Who am I to decide
whether you should be offended? So again please forgive me. I am sorry. Please
don’t let my carelessness ruin your day. I have had a good look at who I am and
I wrote it in this letter to you, I hope we can be friends and we can have
great times and wonderful memories with each other. Remember be yourself and
don’t let anyone bring you down. If there are people in your life that are
dragging you down and not letting you be the best YOU that you can possibly be,
please cut them off. You don’t deserve that kind of negativity in your life, no
one does. Thanks for reading and have a great day!
Sincerely,
Dennis High.
