In her letter, Holly candidly expressed the realization of her mortality at a tender age. She wrote, “It’s a strange thing to realise and accept your mortality at 26 years young.” The poignant note continues, addressing the trivial stresses that often dominate our lives.

She implores people to let go of “meaningless stresses” such as traffic, body image concerns, or materialistic pursuits. Holly’s message is clear: life’s beauty lies not in these trivialities but in our appreciation of good health and the fleeting moments we share with loved ones.

“Let all that s*** go,” she advises. “It is so insignificant when you look at life as a whole.”

“Appreciate your good health and functioning body, even if it isn’t your ideal size. Look after it and embrace how amazing it is. Move it and nourish it with fresh food. Don’t obsess over it.”

Holly also emphasizes the importance of forging real connections with friends and family, instead of losing ourselves in the digital world. She urges people to treasure experiences over material possessions and to be fully present in life’s moments, rather than capturing them through screens.

“Life isn’t meant to be lived through a screen nor is it about getting the perfect photo. Enjoy the bloody moment, people! Stop trying to capture it for everyone else.”

In her closing words, Holly delivers a powerful message about the significance of blood donation. She reveals that blood donations prolonged her life for an extra year, a year she cherished with family, friends, and her loyal dog.
