I'm leaving.

Hi Cherry,

Thank you for opening up so honestly. What you’ve done for so many people at such a young age is nothing short of incredible ,it takes so much empathy, courage, and strength to be there for others like you have. But you are absolutely right no one can pour from an empty cup, and choosing to step back to care for yourself isn’t weakness, it’s wisdom. Spend more time with your loved ones and to truly understand you.

Please know that you’ve made a difference here, even if it doesn’t always feel that way. You deserve time and space to heal, to focus on your studies, and to just be a teenager again. I (and many others, I’m sure) am wishing you rest, peace, and brighter days ahead. We’ll be here cheering you on quietly as you take care of yourself :) <3

Hi, Cherry:

I sincerely hope that everything works out for you. I have no reason to think it won't work out. However, I wish you the best. This world needs more people like you...I don't say this as a guilt-trip or anything similar...I believe you have a very bright future ahead of you. I know I don't know you as well as many others do, but I have faith. I have read some of your posts, and whether I agree with them all or not, I believe you are an exceptionally bright young woman. The sky is the limit, as they say. Just remember to breathe. There is no shame in taking a break and catching your breath. I have a tendency to type too much, so I will shut up soon. Well, take care.

Hey ya'll!

I meant to leave, but when I read through all these messages they were just so incredibly sweet that I just had to log back in and answer everything properly before disappearing the next couple of weeks.

A huge thank you to everyone who has poured in love and support! I never expected this to get so much attention. You all are amazing and restore my faith in humanity :) How you all manage to be so incredibly sweet, I will never understand. This means so much more to me than you guys will ever realize.

Thanks to those who sent DMs as well. I will respond now before leaving, I promise!

P.S. While proofreading my old post I have discovered that spell check isn't my strong suit while typing on a phone haha...oopsy!
