Listen: In the future, there is a small, quiet room that is just yours, where you are safe and you are free. In that room your shoulders will finally start to come down from around your ears. Nobody can come into that room unless you let them. In that clean quiet place, you will work and you will study. You will love and you will heal. I know this is true because I am there with you. We are there together because you saved us. You saved us because you were brave and because you never stopped believing in that room.
See you there,
Your Future Self

I know it’s illegal to comment on quotes but this quote got me through some hard times and I just want to say that I’m there now. I’m in that room, and no one’s allowed in unless I let them, and I’m happier here than I ever expected to be, and I wish I’d been able to take my fourteen-year-old self and show her this place and tell her it’s going to be hers and she’s going to be so, so happy here, and thank her for being strong enough and brave enough to get us there.
