#first thing jve written in a WHILE

[exerpts-from-the-teenage-mind]

Oh honey. Oh baby. You had so much going on.

Well it's future me here to tell you that it does get better. Now I want to be honest with you, sometimes (even often) I wish to be dead. I hate everything. I relapse into old bad behavior.

But! Do not let that dissuade you. I swear, I promise, I'm the happiest I've ever been now. It's an extraordinary improvement. There's less bad things happening, and your mind is learning to heal. The highs are much higher, and the lows also higher. We will get through this, the me that I once was and the me that I am now.

We're in recovery. We're going to make it.
