Letter to anonymous

It can be very difficult sometimes to realise that even though you are the centre of your own world, and you may even be centre of someone elses world, that you are not the centre of everyones world. That even though you occupy some lofty position in the workplace, to your friends and loved ones, you are just you, the spotty teenager they knew, all grown up.

And sometimes you don't have any great power when you're at work and it's difficult to remember that you are held in great esteem at home, your confidence takes a few knocks professionally and suddenly you can't make decisions because you doubt yourself. Someone makes a sarcastic comment in the pub about your status in the office that raises a meagre laugh, and you're in tears in the loo.

It's important to remember though, whether you are the office dogsbody, the Grand Poobah, or somewhere in between, that your place in the universe is valued beyond measure.

And I love you.
