It really is amazing how much a kind thought, or gift, from a friend can cheer you up and make you feel better.
Who knows if Ash will ever read this, but thank you so much for the pictures and nice words on Instagram. I got them right when I needed them the most.
I wrote the below screed early last week, a few days after Independence Day, when I was feeling angry and low. I hesitated to post it because I thought that the train of thought expressed in it would lead to places I didn’t want to be. I think I’ll post it now, though, for history’s sake.
I’m a bit different now than I was back when I wrote the essay, thank goodness. I’m feeling happier about myself and more sure that my future holds good things.
Ash helped a lot. I mean, ALOT. Thank you again Ash. I love you.
