Sometimes it's hard to remember what has happed in the past I know this because I don't really remember a lot. I choose not to dwell on any of the bad that I had done or had experienced back then because once you start looking back you keep looking back and there's the chance you'll slip into something you don't want to.

Anyway, what you're going through right now is normal, I assure you. I know it's not your usual state of mind, but being depressed before a big move or during and after a break up is very common. So don't worry.

And hey....I know you don't really have that many people to TRULY talk to about the things that bother you, so if you ever want to hang out and talk for a bit over coffee, that would be awesome. I enjoy talking to you, Blake.

I hope some of that makes you feel a little better. This will pass. Everything does. It's the way of life.
