Peaceful right?

Hello, I'm feeling a little overwhelmed today :(( Why do I feel like I'm losing time, like there's not enough time for me, or at least time to figure things out? I'm 21 years old, and I understand what they mean when they say the early to mid-20s are a period of confusion as you prepare for adulthood and greater responsibilities. But I believe in you; I know I beat you so badly, but I know I do it because I believe you have so much potential, and I am so proud of you! I hope you feel a little better a year from now; oh, for shore, I know you'll feel better tomorrow HAHAHAHAHA. But, a year from now, when you'll be 22, I want you to know that we are just 21, a little lost, but I am taking my time to figure everything out; I still beat myself up, but this time I learned how to handle it a little better and more gently, and I hope you'll do the same. You are doing great, love! The universe is so excited to see you grow, and I too, at 21 years old, couldn't wait to see you conquer the world. You have so much potential; never NEVER EVER let others tell you otherwise. I adore you and am very proud of you, love.
