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.

PB
