hello, you. it feels like sitting with someone new. i can barely remember the first half of last year and can barely remember the reasons why i cried so much last year, sometimes. i know this year will be different because you feel different. but nonetheless, i ask of you to treat me with kindness. i'm starting everyday with deep breaths, holding my hands to the ground, reminding myself that you are in fact not out to get me. you, please treat me kindness.
