I think it's time to be happy again.
It's time to let go of everything you hold so tightly to your chest.
It's time to stop stressing, yes I know it's hard. It seems impossible. I can't do it. Not alone.
But it's time to smile. For real this time, honey. I want a true smile, not the one you paint on your face. I want your dimples to appear and your teeth to show and your eyes to crinkle.
And it's time to laugh! I know you can. I love your laugh. I hate my own but I know others love it. I know that someone loves the parts of me that I don't like about myself.
So it's time to put your head up.
It's time to get everything done and feel accomplished.
It's time to organize and manage and plan.

Now, don't get scared.

Because I am.

I am terrified.

But I know now that I am not alone. I never will be alone.

And you aren't either, no matter what you think.

So it's time to get up. Give Netflix a break (I knooow!) But do it. Go eat something healthy... or at least an apple. Drink lots of water. Make your body feel better and then you'll feel better.

Now it's time to live.

Go on, you can do it. Get out of your shell. It might take a while. I know it will for me. There will be ups and downs. There will be days where you feel like giving up and sleeping for the rest of your life.

Push through it.

It's time.

I'm not alone. Not ever. Not anymore.

And neither are you.
