"while it's true you're haunted by your past, it's truer that you've traveled spectacularly far away from it. you swam across a wide and wild sea and you made it all the way to the other side. that it feels different here on this shore than you thought it would does not negate the enormity of the distance you traversed and the strength it took you to do it."
