Dear Me,

You didn’t think you would make it the last few years, and here you are, still making it somehow.

The days have gotten easier, and the stress has settled; you’re not always looking over your shoulder. In fact, you can go to the store without scanning the parking lot or the aisles. You can keep and work a regular job. You have forged friendships. At one point, you didn’t even think that any of this was possible.

There were hard days. There were sleepless nights. There were times when you wanted it all to end. You thought you’d “lost.” But, instead, what was “lost” only made space for everything you were about to gain and life has become more beautiful.

You are a source of motivation for so many people and you don’t even know it. Always remember to stay the path and continue what you are doing.

I am so proud of you.

Love,
Me

P.S. You amaze me.
