A letter from Dec 02, 2023

dear future blake, i'm so proud of myself. for where i am now. in these letters, i usually write about how i'm proud of you- and i still am, but right now i'm proud of me. in february, i was in the lowest point of my life. it was a struggle to get through each day, and i didn't know if i would ever heal from that. it's been about 11 months, and i'm healing. obviously i'm not completely healed yet, it's a process, but i'm getting there. i haven't woken up to an anxiety attack in a while. i haven't self-harmed in almost six months. i'm expressing myself the way i want, eating what i want, doing the things i want. i finished my high school applications a week ago- the thing i've been working towards since third grade. it's a process, but i'm getting there. so, if you're in a low point right now, that's okay. you'll get out of it- i certainly did. and if you're even more healed, in an even better place than me, i'm so incredibly proud of you and me and us for getting there. i love us. happy december <33
