This last year, well- it's had its ups. But it's had a lot of downs, too. You've been too exhausted, too disheartened, too fearful, too infuriated, too sad, and perhaps many other "too"s that are too many to list. But you can't take care of others if you can't take care of yourself first. You know the solutions. You only need to find the courage to take the steps you need to take. And you know it won't be easy. Because that's just life. But you know that you've got to try because not doing so is the only way to completely fail.
I hope you have found that courage again by the time you read this. I hope you've written lists again as you once did. Small goals. Just little steps to get you moving and doing. I also hope you're out of that grocery store, too. We'd planned to leave it the year before, you know? The second year mark was hard enough. I know a third year mark would be murder at this point, even if we both know that's a complete overly dramatic exaggeration.
But honestly, most of all, I hope you've kept the friends you've made a little closer. I hope you've stopped focusing on the things that don't matter and kept your attention drawn to the things that do, to the people that do. Because those are the people that will have helped you through all this. And hopefully, you'll have helped them, too. I know you'll still be working on your people skills. But that's alright. It's us. We'll find our way in time.
Ah, I hope you've kept in mind, too. "Don't let them forget".
