I love exploring new places, and part of the reason I do it is to distract myself from thoughts I don’t want to face. Sometimes seeing others with similar struggles brings me some comfort, like I’m not alone in what I’m going through.
Dear myself,
I know you’re tired. Life shouldn’t be this hard on you. You deserve a better life. You’re smart. You’re knowledgeable. You’re caring. You don't want to hurt others.
