Dear you,

Life is a journey. It takes courage to face the world. Promise me no matter what happens, you’re going to keep moving forward, one small step at a time. You’re going to try your best to do better in the future. You should be proud of yourself. You’re only human. You’re not always going to say the right thing at the right time. You’re bound to fumble and fall. What matters most is how you bounce back from those setbacks. You are destined for beautiful things, but you need to stick around long enough to experience them. Don’t ever give up, you owe it to yourself to keep trying.

Despite everything that you had been through, all the hardships and challenges you thought you couldn’t make it through. Give yourself some credit. You need to recognize that you are more than your mistakes and flaws. You need to acknowledge that just like everyone else, you deserve something good. You deserve the things that will make you feel comfortable in your shoes. You deserve every good that this world could offer you.
