An Open Letter

Look, not for naught, another chapter has closed. Fin. Take what you can and don't look back. The story is not over. Nothing is definite. You're inclined to reflect willfully on the past but instead, stop and start again. Adhere.

Bring back confidence. Do not define your style by anything other than yourself, lest you misplace the meaning of style. Your five year old self will always be smarter, more adequately shameless.

You are not nearly so great as you think, but you are not so horrifying, either. Be a sponge, but know it's applications. There are no wrong choices. Your guilt is meaningless. Trust that, and yourself. You will fail at this. Keep trying.

People will come and go, but most importantly, they will come. You won't know when. It will work out, or it won't. Regardless, time will win. Go through every opening. Don't get lost. Do not be trapped by the lure of documentation or you will find yourself very far away looking down onto a tiny maze.

You will reach your goal, you will get smacked down, you will get back up. This is what to look out for when you think about Success. Tell the truth. Do it concisely. When it stops being fun, ask yourself why and fix it, and when you find yourself at the beginning of another new chapter, do it again.
