I don't think I'm going anywhere for a while. But... maybe it's better, if I don't. I won't like it very much. But I remember a lot of the words people tried to say to me. How much you all cared.
That I'm loved for what I am, not what I will be. So maybe... it's okay. If I'm not the strong one right now.
[It feels like it cracks something, deep within him, to want to commit to an idea like that. But when one has no other options, acceptance is the only way to move forward... and he's so tired of the downward spiral.]
I won't expect it from you, either. Okay? I know whatever you do, you'll do with everything you have.

Just... don't burn out on me.
