Dear Me

I hope for the day to come when you look at yourself in the mirror and be satisfied with what you see. Instead of plaguing yourself with your own insecurities and negative criticisms; just be happy, content, and smile. No one is born perfect, so don’t try to shape yourself to what other people think. In every aspect, you are unique, strong, and beautiful just the way you are and in what you do. You may not be as smart as the people you know nor as pretty as the people you see, and you make mistakes often, but at least you know that deep inside—despite thinking you are unloved and unwanted—you are capable to love and receive love. You are not ugly. You are not stupid. What matters is you are being you, and not someone else.

I know you are afraid of being left behind and to be attached to something that you might lose some day. When no one is there to comfort you, you comfort yourself.  But do you see how indifferent you have become? Do you realize how much you have changed? There is a fine line between protecting yourself and being numb. Before it’s too late, hold on to those people you hold dear. Stop being afraid for a moment, do you what you want to do, free yourself and do the things you never dreamed of doing. Always remember that you are only weak, when you make yourself weak. You are simply a normal human being, nothing more and nothing less. Thus, like most people, you are capable of what some people can and can’t do.

You are not lonely so stop drowning yourself with loneliness. There are people around you who consider you as a friend and even more than that. Despite the difficulties, there are still people who are willing to help you despite having their own problems. So open your eyes and stop being blind. You think being ignorant is a good thing but you know it isn’t, you’re just pretending to not see or hear, because you are scared again of what might happen next. So, why don’t you ask yourself: “Do you remember?” and recall the moments you spent with your family, friends, classmates, and even your enemies; remember every memory you can. As you finish, I know you’re about to cry. You feel pain and it just proves that you are indeed a human being with a heart.

Of course, life goes on; and you only get to live once in a lifetime. So make most of the moments you have by doing however you want, and what will make you happy…

Dear me.
