Annie (AKA Hey Terra!) has been around long enough to have experienced a lot of what Life can dish out. But, it hasn’t been so long that she's forgotten what it's like to be your age.

Hey Terra,
I followed your advice on making the lists about what I want in a friend, and how I'm a good friend. It worked. I feel much better about myself. Thank you so much!!!Not so depressed anymore
Dear Not so depressed anymore,
I'm proud of you for being willing to try something to make yourself feel better. That shows me that you know how to take care of yourself. Brava! I'm also very glad that you are feeling better.
In friendship,
Terra
