Once I am able to connect with the list of the people that I love and miss most, I realize that so much time has elapsed from when I started, and I need to go back to the list and start over. It's a good problem to have, but it does make me feel a bit like a shitty friend sometimes.

And thank you for your support :)

And this has made it so hard for you to keep going, and there have been days where you were not sure if it was even possible. But after everything, here you are, just a li...
