Dear 5 year-old me,
Your awkwardness would morph into a comedian personality to fill up the void, you would crave for the sound of laughter, especially your own. From feeling abandoned, you would realize you were actually one of the luckier ones. You would find strength in the people whose paths you would fatefully cross. They would change your life bit by bit, till you find your way home. You tried to give up and end it all, not once. That was all necessary, because without the loss of pride, you would never learn the depth of humility.
Love,
Your current fabulous self.
