A letter to my future self

From 18-year-old me.

What I've never opened up about. Beware, it's a long one.

So recently, I've realized I’m not very kind to myself. I am the helicopter parent I never had.

I haven’t been able to sleep. It seems that nearly every night, some deep sadness just envelops me and drives back the snug embrace of slumber.
