I love you. I can't wait to see you this weekend. I'm sorry I've been so busy and stressed, and not really there for you these past few days. I'm sorry if I don't support you as much as I should. Please know that if you have something important to talk about, I'm there. Unless I'm writing a paper, in which case you may have to wait a few hours. (jk)

we all go through periods like this. though that isn't to say your situation isn't unique, the general sentiment is kind of universal in young adults.

as a general rule if i feel like i've exhausted myself in being true to myself and my friends i feel pretty good about any situation even when i fuck up. "right intention" is my favorite part of the eight-fold path as it absolves me from alot of my worries.
