Here is a transcript of a beautiful letter Paul Banks (of Interpol) wrote to a downbeat fan.
Dear Hailey,
No matter how sad you may get, it’s always passing. You may wake up blue, and by the afternoon, everything will be rosey. Sadness is a strange companion. And a nuisance. So try not to pay it too much mind. And be present in your happy moments — and weigh them against the sad. It’s all worth it. And you will arrive somewhere wonderful with peace in your heart.
All my love and hope to you, young lady.
