here we are — in san francisco. you never thought you'd actually end up here. well, except you've only been talking about moving here since you were a teen. forgot about that, eh? you had the wherewithal to turn something you were interested in, something that took up so much of your time, into a job — a real career. you thought you were destined for one thing, but maybe that was the anti-authoritarian spirit in you... nonetheless, you're here now, aren't you?
and my, what a point in time we're in. i'm so proud of you, how far you've come. i know it's hard to take a moment to rest, since all you've known is struggle. you've had to be hypervigilant, ever-watching, making sure everything is neatly tied into a bow before taking the next step. you've been through so much.
but i need you to know that you deserve it. you really did earn this. you put a lot of long nights into becoming who you are today; look at the hard work you did. and in your circumstances. you put in the work — mentally, emotionally, and physically. this was your second chance, and you nailed it.
i'm proud of you, kid.
