Don’t you ever forget that we had an agreement. I would grant you something you desperately desired, and in turn, you would give something back — maybe even lose a piece of yourself.

No, I didn’t forget. I keep telling myself that anyway. It’s just jarring, that’s all. I’ve never been to a place like this before. It’s completely new and unexplored territory. I just really hope that as I chug along, you’ll grant me some insight while I go. Is that too much to ask? It’s like I’m asking for the gift and also the ability to contain it. Yeah, maybe that’s too much. I’m not sure. I’ll continue to “do my best,” but I want your word that I can look to you when I seek answers. I think that’s fair.
