Well M.

I do feel confident and I feel like I’ve grown up a bit.

I did miss you today.

Things are still like they have been. I feel like I look at things like an adult, mostly, now. It feels scary to think about doing this on my own without you. I know that’s the end result and it’s what I want.

You are safety for my thoughts and words. You hear me and I feel there is value in what I say. I guess that’s some kind of safety issue that I’ve struggled with and never understood the concept of. It’s heart rending to think that the people that I am in family with will never get that. Well, maybe one will.

Thank you for encouraging me to go long. I’m growing up and you can see it and I thank you for it.

It’s lonely growing up in the middle of a place like this!

You are still here and we talked about that.

See ya next week!
