dear patrick..so here goes nothing

Dear patrick chan (wow saying your full name sounds so formal),

so I pretty much created this blog for you. I guess it's just me being really inspired by you, or just crazy, but there's just something special about you that makes my heart glow every time you a)talk b)skate c)just being you d)all of the above.
ok ya, d.

I'm guessing you'll never read this but it's ok, everyone needs to hold on to that little hope, that small chance that something out-of-the-ordinary could happen. and me? I believe.

My friends keep making fun of me because I always talk about you. I mean, it surprised me too, because I thought I'd never truly be into someone that I haven't even met. Just somehow, it seems like I know you. Somehow, I feel like your passion for skating can fuel my passion for music and life too.
You must be really nervous before competitions, and I honestly don't know how you do it. For me, before piano festivals or exams, I get really nervous because it feels like you've worked so hard for that moment, and you put everything into it and hope that it comes out right. I get nervous right up until I start playing, then I know that I really love music, and how blessed I am. When I play that last note, sink in that last chord, that feeling of satisfaction is so great. Every time I perform, it makes me stronger for next time, and it makes me more confident to face a new challenge. You know, at first I thought music was something I was doing for myself, and in a way, it was at the beginning. Then I started performing for fundraisers or even just senior homes, and I found music was a way I could help others. That's a really good feeling. I found especially, at senior homes, that they really do appreciate how much you care, and their compliments are often the most heart-warming.

I think using your talents for something greater than yourself is what makes a person so amazing, because many people can be talented, but it means so much more if they use their talent to serve others. I don't think I can change the world, but if I can help one person, that's already enough.

Wow, sorry that was totally not about you, but it's just something I wanted to share with you today.
btw, happy chinese new year=)

love,
