You, my friend, are wonderful.

I hope I'm growing because all I want to do right now is throw in the towel and give up. I'm not a very steadfast person in that regard. I'll try to take better care of myself, I know I need to - it just doesn't seem worthwhile, like I'm worth any attention or time. I tie my idea of "self-worth" to how much I feel I'm helping everyone around me and I don't think I'm doing enough of that anymore. I've not been helpful enough here for you and all of my friends. I've been a lousy friend. Thank you so much for your kind words and wonderful spirit. I'm so glad that I have you as a friend.
