I lost my footing and I fell into the night.

I need the windows to stop rattling. I need the wind and cold to go away, and the sun to come out. I need my sick, my cold to leave my body. I need to find my sense of belonging again. I need to stop acting like everyone's mother. I need to get over him. I need to get my focus back from wherever I lost it. I need to go to college, but first I need to get over my fear of commitment, of change especially. I need to grow some patience. I need to put my priorities in order. I need to grow up. I need to go away, to get out - I need to be by myself, I need to be with everyone. 

I need to stop spending all my time thinking about what I need.

I need motivation.

"I need to live. Don't tell me to wait."

I know these feelings. Every single one of them. Sometimes I swear, we have the same soul.

Here's the thing. There's always room for improvement. It sounds majorly cliche but when you put your mind to it, you can be whoever you want to be.

The only advice that I can offer you is lists. Get a whiteboard, carry paper, or post it here. Put your life in order. You'd be surprised, how much a piece of paper can fix things.

Good talks help too. The light is coming, my friend. Spring is stretching her arms, getting ready to roll out of bed and give you warm sunny hugs. Some time extremely soon you and I will be hoofin' it up Main Street, sipping Java and talking about life on our way to the park.

Get ready. It's coming. Don't look around and wallow, look ahead and get excited.

[I love how the advice I give you is often the advice I need to take]

All my love.
