My, how far you’ve come. You have no idea how proud of you I am. Right now you’re wondering where you’ll be and what you’ll be doing, but trust me: you’re gonna be fine. People told you that a couple of times, and probably some of them you didn’t believe. But you should know that you have an internal compass that has never failed you thus far. In fact, that compass is what led you to be me.

I understand that you have questions, but you should know that I have the same amount of questions as you do. Because honestly, you’ll never come across a time, or at least up to this point, when you won’t be constantly asking what’s next, or what you’re here for, or what you’re supposed to be doing. The only difference, I would think, is that now, you are pursuing something that you love. And sometimes, I get exhausted and frustrated. I have to work through challenges that were pre-set for me because of who I am. But at the same time, those quirks are what brought you, me here.

Promise me that you’re never gonna do less than your best. Overdeliver. Promise me that your heart won’t ever tire in fighting with your brain. Your brain sure knows what’s up, but it’s not the one that has led you to experience the life you have so far. Keep your faith - it’s the only thing that can keep you going. Even though you’ll hurt, don’t give up. Keep on going until these words come out from your mouth.

Look back and see how far you’ve come. You got this.
