If you're reading this, this is for my past self.

Dear Maxwell,

I am so proud of you! You have grown so much since starting college, both in your work ethic & your relational abilities. I really think you should appreciate & recognize how hard you work & how organized you’ve become, as well as acknowledging that your energy comes in waves & forgiving yourself for having those momentary lapses. So proud of yourself for recognizing your energy cycles.

Yet, I’m still so excited to see how you grow! Your trust has multiplied, but that & your attachment style still has more room to grow & blossom. Let yourself live, change your mind, love & be loved, & most important of all: love yourself & let yourself love yourself. Love ya!

Max S., University of Georgia
