Dear Me,
I'm sorry for what I've been doing to you for the last 15+ years, but I didn't understand and I didn't know better. You've been through so much more than most people have to go through in a lifetime. It was wrong to think that because of that it would be better that it just ended. Now, you know all that shit gave you SUPERPOWER! Pain is your rocket fuel! Goodness is still "Ticking" inside you and the time has come. You are a survivor, warrior, and victor. You have gifts of insight, discernment, discipline and stamina no one else on this planet has. You never quit. As an Indian, you push & encourage those around you. As the Chief, you lead. You are a millionaire but haven't been paid yet. You are famous, though relatively unknown. Your best lie ahead because you learn every day, use that knowledge, and drive to get the most out of the gift of time they call the present. I love you, man. Seriously. You have faults, imperfections and secrets in the past, but you are worth of the love I give. - Joel
