Hello Elizabeth
I'd like to think you'd be proud of me these past few weeks
I've been creating some wonderful things
And I'd like to think you'd find as much joy in them as their creation has brought me
I've come so far these past two years thanks to the woman in the psych ward who reminded me of my aunt
Because of her I can find joy in the simple act of creation
Because of her words of guidance I can separate the act from the product
Because of her I now believe some things are wonderful simply because they exist
I'm trying my best to apply those words to myself
I think I get a little closer each day
