A letter from June 5th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, You can do it. You have made it this far and we both know it's been a hell of a ride. Life has been hard but let me remind you: YOU are worthy of love. You deserve to be loved by someone who loves you, not your body, not your looks; you. You deserve nothing short of everything you hoped for. Don't sell yourself short. Don't let your mind trick you into thinking that you're only purpose here is to please others. You cannot make others happy until you are happy yourself. Please for the love of everything good in life LET YOURSELF BE HAPPY. You deserve to be as happy as you strive to make everyone else. You can allow yourself to help and care for others without throwing everything you want aside. Spend a day for you. Just for one day don't worry about what other people want, don't worry about other people at all. Spend a day making yourself happy. Go get yourself a smoothie, take a long hot bath, watch charlie st. cloud and laugh and cry all to yourself without wondering or worrying about what you could've been doing to make someone else's day better. and remember no matter how bad today was, this week, month, or even year was: Tomorrow will be better. -xoxo your past self at one of her lowest points in awhile
