Let There Be Light

My dear friend you have finally surfaced, and boy am I happy to know you're okay. Although you're not as okay as you could be, and once again I feel somewhat helpless on the sidelines, not able to help as much as I'd like to. But I know you'll get to where you need to be. How do you always manage to choose the bumpiest road possible? Maybe it's in your stars, to constantly challenge yourself. I just wish you didn't hurt so many others along the way. Stop to breathe once in a while, would you? Stop to think about the people around you who love you and care about you.

I'm still mad about that night. You were such an ass. Mostly, I feel bad for her. She cried, you know? You hurt us both, each in different ways. But I do appreciate that you're trying to make amends now. A little kindness can go a long way towards repairing burnt bridges, not just with me, but with her too. If you do still care about her, you should talk to her. Email her. Text her. Whatever it takes. She won't listen to it coming from me. She needs to hear it from you.

I want so much for you to be happy with your life. If happiness were something tangible, I'd have crates of it shipped to your doorstep. Haha, if only things were that easy, right?

Just keep trying. No matter what you choose for yourself, or what life throws at you, don't give up. And don't be afraid to admit when you've made a mistake. Don't let your own pride stop you from making it right. You're at your best when you're open and honest.

You know I'll be here to talk. I've got your back.

P.S. Bend and snap!
