Dear Me

Take all the time you need. When you feel like crying, cry. When you feel like you need to be alone, be alone. Give yourself what you need. And when you need to, ask others to support you as you seek what only you can find. As you said the other day, the world just keeps on going no matter what. The world will keep on going but it will not leave you behind. The experience you're living every day is one that will speed you ahead of the rest of the world. It will progress you past many of your peers and drop you in a place that will allow you to experience life more fully and in greater depth. Live it with all your heart and don't be ashamed of the pain.
