      I hope you can find the space to piece yourself a little bit back together my friend. You’re still basically the same "you’, but with a lot to process. And it hurts, and I’m sorry you have to go through it. You’ll never be the same, but you’ll always still be you

      Just in the last couple of months, I’ve started to kinda be (somewhat) “me” again. It’s… surreal sometimes, like I’ve been two different people who’s now learning to be one. One of me was surviving, the other one laying low. Now I’m just trying to be here, and make peace with some of the fear I’ve endured

      And you have endured… that, in and of itself, is incredible
