    I just don’t know what to say dude. You’re stronger than you think. Pretty crazy after all this shit you haven’t gone completely cold, it’s rare and shows a lot of strength. It’s easy to shut off emotions and pretend like nothing affects you. It’s a lot harder to be honest with yourself but in the long term you get to experience life & love fully and I think that makes it worth it. Also I’ll always wait for u. To release shit better to do it right then rush it
