Dear sweet tree

Please don't judge yourself at all. Please be gentle and kind to you, as you are to others.

You did this break as a way of seeing how it would go. So, you noticed in this trial that some things went okay and some didn't. Life is for learning and you've learned more about you and where you are ~ and possibly this is the only way you could have learned these things. So I think it is the genius part of you that thought the break might be a good idea and wondered what it would be like.

And you were able to cope well at times. Those times still are real and are not negated by other times when you struggled

I still think you were very courageous to take the break in the first place!!
