Yourself. In this moment.

Dear Katie,

You've changed a hell of a lot these last few years. Even simply this last year.

But that's okay. It's okay that you get worried. It's okay that you cry more than 'normal people'. It's okay that you're sappy. It's okay that you're adventurous. It's okay that you feel lonely sometimes. It's okay that you spend some days in your PJs watching movies all day. It's okay to eat ice cream for lunch. It's okay to doodle for the hell of it. It's okay that you feel what you feel right now.

You've got one last year of high school before college. You've got a life to live. The future is inevitable. Future ideas are inevitable. You're going to keep living and feeling and going and doing and living. It'll be okay. You'll grow and whatnot.

And it's okay that all of those thoughts are terrifying.

Really, it's okay.
