Dear Shirley:

I so, so like your special friend! One of the many things he tells you: ” it’s okay to feel broken and sad at times because i’m here for you,” is so very beautiful, loving. He is inviting you to be… you, to be true to yourself, to express; to not hide. And he offers you his acceptance and comfort. He is priceless and his love for you is priceless.

He has been most important in your life and I would keep him central in your life. I wish your parents were accepting and loving and not encouraging you to hide your true feelings. I wish they didn’t do that.

Gravitate toward the people that accept who you are, all that you are, welcoming you to be authentic. And move away from those people who.. don’t.

Monday is tomorrow, the beginning of another week, science tests Tuesday, Driver’s permit also on Tuesday (big day), helping your parents (they should be very grateful for all your help!)

Hope you rest and start a good week!
