Well, here is your new room. It's pretty amazing huh? I know you think so. I can see it in your eyes. That's the funny thing about eyes, you know. They speak your true emotion. If you are sad and you are telling everyone that you are "fine," your eyes will always be there to contradict words that you know are not true. Eyes are the window to the soul. Everyone here knows how to read emotion from eyes so well, that we no longer ask each other "how are you?" Please don't take that as coldness. We are not cold, we just have a specific way of doing things and we can't change for anyone, no matter how hard we try. You shouldn't either. Changing for people is bad, no matter how much you love them, because one day you will have this deep impending ache to let your real self be recognized, but it will be far too late. Save yourself the suffering and heartache. Be yourself. Embrace it. If anyone doesn't agree with how you do something, fuck them. You only belong to yourself and you are not here to please anyone but yourself. Remember that. It's the best advice I can ever give you. The ultraviolet society that we now live in is forgiving and embraces everyone, no matter how "different" or "far-out" they might be. Everyone deserves to feel comfortable being themselves. No one, and I mean no one, should ever be given the power to make you feel like shit in your own mind. Stand tall and strong and let yourself be free from judgement. Be yourself unapologetically and love it. Tomorrow I will pick you up around 12 for some tea. I hope your night is filled with the best of rest and wonderful visions of intertwined violet and violence. Goodnight and I will see you tomorrow.
