Dear Tom,
It feels like I've come full circle, right back to where I started. All the time spent struggling and suffering now seems in vain. Until yesterday, I held onto the hope that, even if delayed, my hard work would eventually bear fruit. But now, that hope has vanished. I remind myself to stay positive, like a smile that softly glimmers through shattered glass—light finding its way through the cracks, revealing beauty in brokenness and joy amidst pain, capturing strength and grace in every fractured piece. But now, it feels as though my dreams are slipping away, and every time this reality hits, sad and fearful tears begin to fall. I’m not ready to give up on my dreams, but no clear path to achieving them remains. Tom, my silent listener—I wish you could speak, offer me guidance, and perhaps soothe this aching pain that cuts so deeply.
Your Jerry <3
