Oof. I think we’ve all been in that stall at the end, waiting for the bell to ring.

I was the girl on other end of the stall who seemed like she had it together but secretly did not. I was the one who sat and dreamed up alternate universes to not have to deal with my alcoholic father and stressed out mother.

You weren’t alone – even if it felt like it sometimes. Being a kid is so hard.

I hope my kids never know this pain. Kids are so incredibly mean. You captured this perfectly.

I am glad that you got through it. I hope that you know, now, that you are so worthy, and so wonderful, and so special. I hope you know they were simply ignorant, simply immature, simply cruel for no real reason.

You are AWESOME, and I totally relate. Hiding from it was the worst part.

Hugs to you! XOXO
