Dear [your name here]

Dear [your name here],
Hello. How have you been treated?
I know you struggle just like me.
You want to be wanted.
Loved.
Needed.
Known.
I know you fight hard each and everyday.
But it's hard.
Sometimes too hard.
Some days you feel as if the world is trying to bury you beneath the dirt.
That people try to step all over you as if you are their personal door mat.
You feel scared.
Hurt.
Angry.
Sad.
And alone.
I know.
I feel it too.
It sounds stupid.
You probably don't believe me.

Dear [your name here,
Hey. How have you treated yourself?
I know you struggle just like me.
I know  that you have to fight.
Because society tells you you are imperfect.
That you have to eat too little
Or too much
Or wear what's in season
That you have to act like someone you never want to be
Or torture yourself to be

PERFECT

Dear [your name here],
STOP
You keep fighting.
Because if you lose, you let others, who are fighting too, look and you and follow.
You keep fighting.
Because if you lose, then there will be one less person with your family on Christmas.
Thanksgiving
Your birthday.
You keep fighting.
You can borrow my strength if you need it.
I'll keep fighting too.
So that people just like you and me can borrow our strength.

Dear [your name here],
I love you.
I don't know you.
You don't know me.
But I love you.
And if you think no one does, you are so wrong.
You may have not met them yet,
Or they be gone,
But SOMEONE loves you.
You are a warrior.
You are imperfect.
You are human.

Keep going.
Show love.

Dear [your name here],
You got this.
