Dear Lisa:

What you wrote is beautifully mature and wise. Please re-read what you wrote at times when you feel stress and relax best you can, as you read this. You are an intelligent, sensible and passionate girl and I can imagine very good things happening in your life. I .. almost can’t wait to read about it. But I have to be patient, and you too, be patient. Take advantage of your intelligence and make good choices for yourself. I am smiling right now for the first time today (and it is 4:35 pm here)!
