Dear Caitlin,
You did it. You are making it through this thing entitled LIFE… are you doing it well? maybe, but could you be doing it better? Definitely. Everyone falls sometimes, and that is what you have done…more times than most these past few months but you ARE learning. Out of all the negatives remember that… no matter what life throws at you, you are learning and you are still hanging on. So what did we learn? We learned that mom may not ALWAYS be right, but on the big stuff? She is. So now that she has told you you may come back and get help from her, take that step. Take the step to start budgeting and do things right, financially. She is right…you have done nothing but fly by the seem of your broken blue jeans and it is time that you stop doing that. You can never accomplish any of your dreams…broke… because you thought you could eat out every night. You also learned that no matter what you really are okay, and the good kind of okay. You are never alone, and you now realize this. So stop basing your life off of people. You do not NEED anyone, and no matter how badly you WANT someone, there is never a necessity. Never. And always remember those in need, in real need, always be grateful for what you DO have, and keep trekking, because even though you can and WILL do better, doing anything at all…well, that counts too.
With much love, and ready for the future that you will surely succeed at,
yourself.
