It’s so simple. “Focus on yourself”.. but it’s not easy at all. You didn’t need them there, but you learn to rely on the person. It can get taken away in seconds. Now, you have to pick up all the pieces and pretend everything is okay until it really is.
So sad hearing about death, especially about people I went to high school with… Rest In Peace Matt Larkin. I am so sorry to all who were close to him 😔
it's okay to feel behind. it's ok to feel overwhelmed. it's okay to not be where everyone else is in life. focus on yourself. go at your own speed. be proud of yourself.
