Letter 46 – Thinking About Those Comments
Dear Garrett,
I better understand now the people whose comments I saw online that said, It’s been years and I feel like this happened only yesterday. I understand now more than I did before.
Before, when everything was new, I was scared by those words. I didn’t want to be stuck feeling the way I felt then. It was so raw. There was no meaning. I couldn’t imagine years ahead where I couldn’t do anything but cry. It was terrible and I never want to go back to that place. But, I understand what they mean. Time has gone by, and yet sometimes, it was only yesterday.
So yes, I see what they mean.
