here's a reminder to focusing on myself. to not letting other people distract me from the things i want to do, the life i want to live. i do my best to love others and to make them feel loved, cared for, and appreciated. but i'm trying to give my energy back to myself too. i know what it's like to lose yourself in someone else. in making everyone but yourself happy. and slowly, i've taken myself back. i still need a lot of work. but i've come far. every little step and every thing that's happened to me has led me here.

to my love, you're a star in my life. you make life more fun and you make me sillier and goofier and i love it. and i know sometimes i carry a lot of sadness and shame, but you do your best to love me. i hope i brighten your life too. that i bring you joy and a different perspective.
