Mission Statement

Why I Created MyLettersTo
I once lived in a world of pain—16 years of daily violence, isolation, and unimaginable suffering—but through it all, I found hope, healing, and a mission to help others. My journey began with brutal child abuse, followed by five spinal fractures at 21, which left me debilitated for years. Then, after rebuilding and creating a successful career, a mental health breakdown hit, driven by the relentless pressures of my job. Severe depression, anxiety, complex PTSD, and dissociative disorder took hold. My life was truly on the line.
In the midst of this darkness, I sought therapy and found an incredible therapist—someone who had also escaped their own shadows and discovered the light. The most important lesson I learned was simple but life-changing: The Truth Will Set You Free. I'm very excited about adding a Therapist Connect feature soon. But therapy is all about looking within oneself and that why MyLettersTo works.
MyLettersTo started as a personal file on my computer—letters to my sons, sharing my life, my struggles, and my deepest love for them. I wrote with brutal honesty, knowing that to heal, I needed to confront the truth within me and besides to not be brutally honest is to perpetuate deception which is detrimental to all involved. Creatin g Letters (text, audio and video) became more than just a therapeutic exercise—it was my way of ensuring that my children would never feel the isolation I grew up with. Even if I wasn’t there, they would have my legacy, my lessons, and my love to guide them.

A few years after recovering, life threw more challenges at me—divorce and an attempt by my ex to estrange my children. But this time, I was ready. I had found "The Bliss" during my mental health recovery. Even in the hardest moments, even when I cried every day for missing my children, I stayed clear and focused. Today, I’m proud to say my children are doing awesome, and we now share 50/50 custody.
As I continued to heal, my perspective shifted. I realized that suffering is universal—it touches everyone in some form. That’s when MyLettersTo evolved into something bigger than just letters for my children. It became a platform for anyone to share their stories, leave their legacies, and find hope.
Writing down my lessons not only cleared my mind, but it also gave me peace, knowing that my children will always have these letters to turn to, no matter what. MyLettersTo.com is now a beacon of hope, offering "Stories of Hope" where people anonymously share their stories of survival, healing, and triumph over adversity. These stories remind us that no one is ever truly alone.

MyLettersTo quite literally helped save my life. And now, I feel a strong sense of purpose to help others. I’ve worked hard on myself and reached enlightenment, which I call "the Bliss." During meditation, I realized that the demons I had fought for so long (40 years) now only existed in my mind. Once I realized this, they vanished and ceased to exist. I know it may sound simple but trust me—it works. I’m just a single dad, trying to make the world a better place, to prevent loneliness, build connections that last generations, and save lives.
Peace can be found only in the present moment. The present moment is the only time over which we have dominion," said Thích Nhất Hạnh, reminding us how often we miss life's beauty while our minds wander. Think about it—have you ever been somewhere breathtaking but couldn’t fully appreciate it? Or sat with loved ones, only to miss the depth of the conversation because your mind was trapped in worry?
As Lao Tzu wisely observed, “If you are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present.” True happiness and joy can only flourish when we anchor ourselves in the now. Often, we lose sight of this, letting moments of wonder slip by unnoticed.
MyLettersTo is here to change that. By giving you a way to record, preserve, and share your most meaningful thoughts and stories, it provides you with true peace of mind. The next of kin legacy feature ensures that your love and wisdom will reach those who matter most, even after you're gone. With this peace, you can finally let go of future anxieties and regrets of the past.
As Buddha reminds us, “Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.” MyLettersTo lets you embrace every precious moment—fully living, fully happy, and fully present. Now is your time to start truly living.
My life has been nothing short of amazing and beautiful, and I cherish every single moment. I’ve found a level of peace and happiness I never thought possible. Looking back, I now understand that every bit of pain and suffering was essential—it shaped me into who I am today, and I love it. Without pain, there can be no growth; that’s why it’s called growing pains. Every challenge, every hardship, has led me to this place of inner peace. I embrace it all, and I invite you to do the same. Together, we can find true happiness by accepting and learning from every experience life throws our way.
I invite you to join me—share your story, create your legacy, and find peace. Life can be truly amazing, and if it doesn’t feel that way yet, I promise—it can be.
MyLettersTo is dedicated to my sons, to all of humanity—those who are lost in the darkness, those who have fought their way through, and those still searching for their light. It is also dedicated to the child version of myself, who could only dream of having a tool like this to share love and hope. This platform exists for anyone who needs a voice, a connection, and a reminder that they are never alone, even in their toughest moments.
It's also for those who have tragically passed from mental health struggles, whose battles remind us how vital it is to spread understanding and love. Together, we can ensure that no one’s story is forgotten, and that hope can reach those who need it most.
Lots of Love to All

Our Goals
To preserve your love and the very essence of who you are, to ensure that the bond with your loved ones remains luminous for eternity.
To share true inspirational stories of Hope from those who have suffered trauma and gone on to find fulfillment and happiness so that others may also have the opportunity to learn from these stories and find happiness despite life's hardships.
In today's hectic world, this platform will enable you to strengthen your bonds with loved ones through just a few minutes of your time. Imagine waking up to a birthday video message from a departed loved one, conveying their love and wishing you a wonderful day. Our scheduled letter feature—be it video, audio, or written—aims to lessen the feeling of loss by providing a space where love and joy can be shared, even after life, brightening your loved ones' days. Some discussions are also awkward to have in person, even when they matter. MyLettersTo offers the opportunity to pass on those lessons and open the conversation to ease the awkwardness.
We offer a public archive for anyone dealing with trauma, loss, or feelings of loneliness, where they can find inspiring letters from other members who have experienced the same trauma, yet made it out to find true happiness, so that they too can live a happier, more meaningful life.
