Dearest You

A Letter To Everyone Who Is Trying

Dearest You,

Have you been working so hard, but still fail? Have you been doubting yourself? Have you been crying yourself to sleep thinking that you aren't enough? Stop! Stop being too hard on yourself. Stop beating yourself up. Be a little gentler to yourself. Your efforts deserve appreciation. It's okay, my love. I know it's hard, but learn to forgive yourself.

Forgive yourself. For being a disappointment, forgive yourself. For doing your best, but still fail, forgive yourself. For not being enough, forgive yourself. For getting tired, forgive yourself. For being not okay, forgive yourself. For failing that exam, for not graduating with high honors, for not being a good child, for not being a good friend, for looking like crap while others look so glam, for not getting that job, for not knowing, for not being the person everyone expect you to be, and for all the things you can't do, forgive yourself. Please forgive yourself for being flawed.

My Love for once, forgive yourself for being human. Maybe, for once in our lives, we all make mistakes and become a failure. Lucky for those who don't. But, we should never let our mistakes and failures define us. We should always put in mind that life won't end with one mistake or failure. What matters most is we know how to stand up, face the consequences of our mistakes and build better versions of ourselves after.

We often say that everyone deserves second chances, so we forgive them. It's not easy, but we do that because we love them. You too, Love. You deserve second chances too. Don't you love yourself? C'mon! You are doing just fine. Rest. Let go. Take a break, and learn to love yourself again.

Give yourself the second chance that you deserve~forgive yourself.

Always,

Kween A.
