Traveling tomorrow

Tomorrow's Good Friday. I wanted to go to church, but instead I'm going with my family to visit my cousins. That's fine. I like those cousins. But I really wanted to start a churchgoing habit... oh well.

I'm almost surprised that we're going anywhere for Spring Break. I don't actually have a break from school, but I don't have classes on Friday, so I'm clear for the trip. It isn't a long ride, and it isn't out of the state. Good thing I'm feeling particularly well, so I'll probably be able to put on a big smile for my cousins!

I'm going to try to type up tomorrow's messages before I leave. I'll schedule the second one to be published sometime after noon. If that doesn't end up happening, please don't be alarmed. I'll still be alive, I promise this to you. =]

Really talking

I've been repeating over and over lately that communication is the solution to our problems. But, even more than that, to what extent are you communicating? You may be hanging out with enough people, but are you really putting everything out there with a few people? You need to be able to discuss your thoughts from the surface to the core. You need people to sift through absolutely everything with you.

I tell myself that you're doing just that with at least two people. There's your psychologist and there's her. You talk to her every moment she has free, and you've always told her more than you tell to me. I don't know how often you talk to your psychologist, but that person is hopefully experienced and trained to help you explore your issues. It's on you to tell that person everything there is to tell, and I tell myself that you're saying it all.

Keep talking. Really talking. We'll be okay.
