I've found time can heal most anything, and you just might find what you're looking for.

Don’t wait until they tell you you are ready. The world might say you are not allowed to yet. I waited a long time in the world before I gave myself permission to fail. Please, Don’t even bother asking, don't bothering telling the world you are ready. Show it. Do it.

I believe that if you put in the work, the results will come.
