Dear Me at 17,
Yeah, I know… but it will get better. You will meet that girl you always fantasized about. She’ll be exactly like you dreamed. She’ll be funny, smart, sexy and she will love you more than anybody ever did. She will be everything you ever wanted and more. In just a couple of years, your soul will be complete. Your gray world will have color and you will know the meaning of unconditional love.
Oh sure…. There will be ups and downs. Even then, the downs will be better than anything you can imagine. Once you meet her, even when your heart is breaking, at least you will have learned that you have a heart and that you CAN love.
Enjoy the colors while they last, kid. In a snap of a finger, she’ll be gone and you’ll be alone again with just the gray.

beautiful post...hang onto the fact that she loved you and you loved her. Much love to you.
Stay strong, girl. Suzie's watching, I promise.
HUGS to you.
But, it wasn't just the gray, was it? Maybe once you love and have been loved, you aren't left with just the gray, but many shades of gray. Just thinking.
"yeah, I know..."
Exactly how you would say it to a 17 year old who thinks everything is bad and will never get better.
Feel the grey, and when it's been felt, the colors will return.
