A letter from Feb 14, 2025

Dear Me, but older. Wow, I guess you are a mom now! How crazy. I mean, you were already a mom, but now you are a mom, MOM. You have a baby - I hope. If not, God knows everything, just rest and trust (I love you anyways). I hope you are happy and strong. You are finally a therapist!! You always dreamed with that. You have worked so hard. Yes, you were blesses in many ways, but don't forget how hard you worked and how much it costed you either. I hope you are happy and working to make others happy. I feel like being an adult is hard and things take longer to happen. I hope you are closer to forgiveness now. YOU deserve that. You deserve a heart in peace. I know you are trying, and sometimes you move a little forward just to go back where you were. but life is a process. And while we don't give up, things don't stop happening. If you are not there, you will be at some point. You know, I am proud of you. Of who you are and who you work to be. I wish you all the best, and I hope I can keep making wise decisions so YOU are in a better place in the future. With love, much love, Yourself - Younger, pregnant, and a graduate student. A warrior and a learner. You.
