Dear Self,
Let me start by saying that you're not the pile of dirt you think you are.
How many times have you screwed up?
-A lot.
How many times have you wanted to start over?
-Too many to count accurately.
Why are you still here?
Because you never gave up.
I get it, life is hard. But do you realize how much harder it would be without the people that care about you?
I know you think you'll never get past this hard time you're having, but I can assure you that you will..
You don't realize how special you are. You don't realize how beautiful and talented you are.
That's because you don't listen to the people that tell you all of those things, because you think they're biased, or just saying those things to comfort you. They're not. You're amazing, and you need to know that, and you need to be proud of yourself. You need to take control of your own soul, and tell yourself how much you love yourself every single day. I don't care how bad that day was, or even how good it was. I don't care if other people tell you that they love you. You need to tell yourself.
You have already had a huge impact on so many peoples' lives without realizing it.
You know those children you teach music to during the summer? They love you.
You know those people that bullied you in school? They regret it.
You know that huge mistake you made in grade 8? No one cares anymore. They've forgiven and forgotten.
You are SO valuable, and you can't let someone take that from you.
Stop telling yourself that you're not pretty.
Stop telling yourself not to trust anyone.
Stop telling yourself that none of this is worth it.
Do NOT think you aren't going to make it through this.
You have grown so much already, and I know first hand that you are capable of great things. But to succeed, first, you must go and do.
"Do or do not. There is no try."Stick to these words. They are more true than you'll realize.
You're amazing, and I love you.
Love,
Self.
