A letter from Mar 12, 2023

Dear future Johanna, I hope you’re well. I am struggling to stay alive as I write this, I know you remember the feeling. If you’re still alone, I hope you learned to cope with it. I hope you learned to thrive despite it. I hope you found love, whether it’s through another person or yourself. If you’re still here, I hope things got better. I hope your dreams, however different they may be, came true. People tell me I’m strong, but it’s up to you to prove it. I don’t love me now but I know I’ll love you later, Johanna
