Hey you,
Its funny isn't it. Looking back on who you were and the experiences which have shaped you into you. I know its nostalgic and you want to curl up in a ball and return to how things were before, just remember what I'm telling you now. You're in a good place in your life and it's not something which you should take for granted.
Looking back is important but you know better than to regress, stop doing that. Don't unravel what has been painful lessons and don't take lightly what others have suffered for you to comprehend.
You're important and you matter, even if it sometimes feels like only God seems to know it.
At the same time, you are human so do remember to cut yourself some slack. It's funny to see how much you've grown and I'm proud of you. It's not everyday I say this but I think you'll like how your life pans out. I know I do thus far :)
It's a bit premature for reminiscence but everyone keeps saying that there's no time like the present. 5 years has passed and its been quite the chore, but in the current light everything seems crystal clear. When you're hard pressed for answers, remember to take a step back and see the bigger picture.
Remember the people you've let in, they're important and they matter. You're not allowed to let go of that.
I know the future seems a load to handle, and it is. And change sucks. Moving, working and lack of important company will all SUCK.
But deep down inside, we both know this to be true. You'll be fine and when we speak again in 5 years, you'll probably tell me that I won't regret it and it all turned out for the best. At least that's what I think of 5 years ago.

PS, don't forget to take time to smell the flowers, my dear beloved.
