The farewell stance

I wanted you to get this message earlier on.
But I didn't know how to say or write, it felt clumsy and I didn't want it to lose its meaning.
It tore my heart to see you cry that morning. And the fact that one of the first things you said right after receiving the news was how could you tell that to your brother just added damage. It's truly impressive that you worry about others even in these situations. I was dazzled for a few minutes.
However.
That incredible ability should not blind you to taking care of yourself. Worrying about yourself. Making sure you get to move on, not only regarding the way life turned out, but rather with all that was already happening way before that day.
I have no idea what has jolted among your thoughts these days, I don't know what were you told and the content of every one of the many comforting messages you heard. But I'm taking of the risk of repeating information.
Remember that she said she raised you for the world.
And that means you're not supposed to diminish yourself in any way, nor get enclosed by any grounds unworthy of your flourish. You're up to take the world, head-on. Don't let fear, or unfortunate situations hinder your advance. Don't let others stay on the way, even if you feel you have to help them. Helping people means giving your best to allow them to achieve their best, not being responsible for their lives.
For the world, no less.
