Summary

I wrote this when I didn't know how to keep going. Sixty letters to the versions of myself and maybe of you... who needed to hear that freezing wasn't failure, that sensitivity wasn't weakness, that the story wasn't over. For the writer hating what they've written. For the one still waiting for an apology that will never come. For the person who learned to be invisible and now can't find their way back. I wrote from the middle of the mess, not from the other side. No healing arcs. No inspiration porn. Just someone else in the dark, holding out a hand.
