Surviving 5 years of absolute cold, just trembling and shivering changes everything. I was used to Waking up and searching for anything to harm myself with. To wish i was dead. To have to motivate myself to get out of bed, give myself a reason the live. One more day, I promise, Maria. Counting calories and excercising Until I'd be unable to breath and not being able to do anything Because my eating disorders and my mental disorders took everything away. My heart broken and shattered in a million pieces. Hating everything and others and myself and life and crying every day. I bear scars and my hair is thin and I still suffer every day. But this time, I do not Plan to simply survive. I Plan to and I will begin living. I have been living more and more since 2024. And even if These two years have been so incredibly hard they have given me something which I needed; Hope. I needed to believe that it was possible for me to live and love. And I saw glimpses of the universe. And I wish to live in It. I promise, Maria, I will try to Make this year your best so far. I promise I will try my best to always be kind to you and to treat you so, That you will actually remember the year, and You memories will not be consumes by rage and Depression and cold hunger and you'll remember them Because They're pleasant and warm and Because your braun will allow you to. I promise I will hug you, Maria. You'll be warm. I'll give you a fire, Maria, and one day You Won't have to wonder if It will go out At any given time and You Won't miss the cold. You'll simply push the wood in and smile, making smores just Because you can. Because life is beautiful. You are beautiful, Maria. Forget never Who you are. What you have survive. And know that all you will experience - you will get through It. Your heart will allow It. Your heart will survive. You will survive. And this time, you will live.
With a tired mind,
Maria, who loves you.
