Well... in any case, Happy New Year...

Strange. It's been so long since I've revisited my past...and here you are to my total surprise, after I thought you were only a part of my present. Two years ago...I never even realized we went back that far. I wonder if you knew this was me all along.
I guess it doesn't matter. A lot of what you say is of course right, yet I could write a novel length reason of why it's too late for me to change.
Keep well and thank you for caring.

*smiles and chooses her words carefully... tell me then 'who' you were... as to late - it is never too late. It's a tough row to hoe, but the future is never set in concrete and changes are very possible.

That first sentence is a concept I struggle to accept. I try not to think about it, because it's something I can't change. Inevitably, though, something reminds me of it, and it hurts a lot. I don't drink, so I suppose the only solution is to occupy my mind with other thoughts until it invades again.

I hope you're able to focus on using your time on this earth wisely, as much as it may hurt. You seem like a deeply sad person, and I think that's a real shame. You have an incredible talent for writing, and I'm always happy to see more of it appear in my notifications.
