Dear Self,
In learning to forgive, don't forget to forgive yourself, too.
Dear Self,
Sometimes, you'll be faced with the decision to either walk away with nothing, or to stay... and still have nothing. Choose wisely.
Dear Self,
Sometimes, people fuck up beyond the capacity of a modern human mind to cope with. That's their issue. Not yours.
Dear Self,
Don't let people who haven't found themselves force you to lose yourself.
Dear Self,
Sometimes, the memories can be more powerful than the moment itself. When things don't look so great, think back and remember that you know what it feels like to SMILE. And do it.
Dear Self,
Don't entertain negative thoughts. Those negative thoughts will create insecurities and uncertainties that are NOT welcomed here.
Dear Self,
The pain that you've endured is not in vain. Don't think for one second that it was time wasted. Without those tears, you wouldn't know what type of treatment you'd prefer not to deal with. You would have never searched for everything that you deserve without someone telling you that you were less than worthy.
Dear Self,
You can touch the sky! You've kissed the sun and you've danced in the clouds. In reaching new heights, you're bound to stumble. But don't let the fear of falling stop you from flying.
Dear Self,
The longer you stick around through mistreatment, the harder it will be for you to finally see your worth and true beauty. Don't allow someone who has not yet found themselves, force you to lose yourself.
