Dear Me,

Hi. You're about to do something very difficult, and I know you're nervous. But you're prepared. I am confident you can do it. You're so used to assuming the worst in everything that it's hard to even project false confidence, but it's all we have. We have to stay confident, we have to stay prepared. Get some sleep, eat good. You have done so much already, you are incredibly intelligent and accomplished. I KNOW you can do this. YOU know you can do this. We'll be ok. You'll be ok. You'll get to finally get this burden off of your shoulders and be so, so proud of yourself. I am putting this in writing so it feels more real and tangible- You are capable. We are capable. I am capable. I can do this, I can achieve my goals, I can get what I want out of life. I take the reins, and I am incredibly powerful. I got this.
