…year-old whose friends were mean to him. You will need to mourn what you lost and when you lost it. You will need to go back in time and insert yourself into those memories as an adult, and tell your child self to say what they really needed to say at the moment they needed to say it, though they couldn’t find the words, or the courage. You will do this, over and over again, and slowly you will realize you are becoming lighter. You are releasing. Though you cannot change time, you are, somehow, changing your story.
…feeling will not sustain you. It won’t fulfill you. It’s a black hole for which there is no bottom. It will never be enough because you can never have enough of what you do not really need, and you can never be enough of a person who you really aren’t.
