I think the greatest thing about living alone is the privacy. No one has to know everything.

I miss that.

Those are some very powerful realizations, and the determination to turn them into action has be very strong. I commend you for taking care of yourself.

I’ve never been very good at doing the same and can be a crappy, inconsistent friend (not fishing, just honesty), but I’m rooting for you.

I did have some friends that I cared about, but who were so self-destructive and determined to not improve that I had to cut the line to not get dragged down with them. It’s been at least 10 years and when I think back to it now I don’t feel like such a jerk for doing it anymore. Sometimes I wonder how they’re doing and if they’ve finally let themselves get better, but I leave it at that. Sadness, yes, but you can’t force people to help themselves.

But you can take control over you own shit. That’s the best power we have.

I am so fucking happy for you and proud of you. I can relate strongly to the stresses you’ve been under, having also spent most of my life under the pressures of other people’s needs and their inabilities to meet those needs. I have been the one who swooped or (or was shoved) in to save everyone from the consequences of their actions.

I cannot wait to spend time with you in a space that is just your own.

I love you.
