I am proud of you. I am proud of you for trying, even
when it hurts. It takes a lot to be the kind of person
who challenges themselves to change; it takes a lot to
be the kind of person who confronts all that is lost
and haunted within them. I wish I could tell you when
you will know, when your head will finally feel like it
is floating above water, but healing is something you
will never be able to time; it is something you will
never be able to measure. Things will get lighter as
you break up the earth within yourself. Things will get
lighter as you excavate the past from your mind, when
you learn how to forgive it and befriend it. So keep
taking the steps. Keep asking the questions. Keep facing
the things you need to face. You are getting closer
every single day, even when it does not feel that way.
