because it's EVERYTHING I NEEDED to hear before I departed.


" I just wanted to write you a little something before you left for Costa Rica!
First, I just want to say how proud I am of you in putting it on yourself to take this journey. Despite all the wonderful things you will be doing helping humanity, I know you will be doing a greater service to yourself, allowing yourself to BE, to live, to RELAX, to embark on a journey to find a greater sense of yourself... and for that reason, I could not be more excited for you! 
Sista, the time is NOW and I could not be more excited for you thinking of the even greater person you will be when you get back. For all the bullshit you went through in the past and all the people that have hurt you and you've forgiven, I pray that this trip for you will be an experience full of an even greater LOVE for life, LAUGHTER with NEW friends, OPENNESS to what lies ahead and simply LIVING the way you imagined YOUR life to be.  
So my dear SISTER & former roommate who I've seen grow in leaps and bounds, ENJOY every moment of this trip. I know how you get when you contemplate too much, but I pray that you rid all of your nervousness and questions about the future, your misgivings about yourself and just allow yourself to be in the present. ALLOW yourself to indulge in all the things that provide you pleasure while you are there, because you are totally DESERVING of it. I'm telling you now, BUY that dessert that looks delicious because I know it will taste fucking good OKAY. :) Take that leap (safely!) off some rock into the ocean even if you're scared, you may never get to do it again! 
I can't wait to witness the beautiful person that will get back when I see her this fall. Please be safe, enjoy yourself to the utmost, if you need anything leave it up to the Lord, he will provide.. and keep me updated on your blog if you can!  
I love you so much Catrina!!! Your sista,
Cammille Santos"


i fucking love you,CAMMILLE SANTOS!
Now let me soak every word in. *inhale. exhale*
