Give yourself a pat on the back...

 The day your dad left you was not the end of the world. You grow up, get married and have three beautiful girls. In your 30s you find out your dyslexic, get help now. And, when your sister asks to borrow your car say no. You'll never see it again.

 Thank you for leaving behind a big negative city, to persue even bigger dreams. You saved yourself.

 Be the friend he really needs right now, make sure he knows how much you love and care about him. Before he pulls the trigger.

 Don't waste your time with regret. Learn from your decisions, both good and bad, and move on. You'll be a better person for it.

 Do not drunkenly kiss your family friend in Cancun. You'll lose your boyfriend and be miserable for 6 months.

 talk to your friend about how you feel about yourself now! It may take you a bottle of wine to have the courage to tell her, but once you find out you have Borderline Personality Disorder things just become so much clearer.

 Don't worry if it seems like you are always spending time alone, immersed in a fantasy world. One day, you will have so much to say.
