Awesome Human grants the wish for Cherry! Thanks Awesome Human.

"Dear Cherry, The strength that it takes to introspect and be honest with yourself is one that most adults don't have. It sounds like you have that power because you found the courage to recommit to the life you want. You are deserving of love, happiness, and inner peace. There is no more empowering feeling than realizing that everything you needed and ever will need to heal is already within you. Love yourself well through this transition and show grace when you require rest or a second try. "
