Entry Six

Dear future me,
To start off with, I am so proud of you. Life hasn't been too easy on you lately, and I am truly sorry about that. But despite it all, you have managed to keep your head up and continue fighting. Be proud of everything you have gone through, and mostly, what you've become.Stop being so hard on yourself. Everything will make sense to you one day. All the pain, hurt, and frustration will become worth it. Remember, everything happens for a  reason. You are in the exact place you are meant to be right now. So breathe, be patient, and trust the course of your life. Let go of all the expectations you have created in your head. Accept reality as it comes. Accept life for what it is. Don't take everything so personally and try to not let others get you down. Most of the time, things have nothing to do with you, and everything to do with the other person. When people hurt you, try and understand their side of the story. Forgive them. Learn from their wrongs, and then let it remain in the past. Not everything is always how it appears. You are perfect in every way, even with your flaws. Accept the things that make you different, because they make you who you are. Even though you think you are broken, there is so much beauty in your pain. Also, you're really not as broken as you think you are. You are stronger than anything that has tried to tear you down. You are a survivor, not a victim. So with that, try not to be so hard on yourself, we both know you're doing the best you can. Create a meaningful life for you that you can be proud of. Promise me, you will make the most of it all. Never let anyone get in the way of your goals in life. More importantly, never give up on your passions and your dreams. Don't waste your time on people who do not believe in you. You don't need anyone like that in your life. Only surround yourself with people who encourage and inspire you. You deserve the world and even a little more. You are smart. You are beautiful. You are enough. You are everything. You are all.
Try not to rely too much on others for your happiness. At the end of the day, all you are guaranteed is yourself, never forget this. Stop worrying so much about stupid boys and girls. There is so much more to you than being someone else's girlfriend. Frankly, there is so much more to life than a guy or girl. Be patient, and stay positive, while waiting for love. Just because you have not found it yet, does not mean you don't deserve to be loved. You must learn to completely love yourself, before you even try to love another. Help others. Be a good friend and make sure to be kind of your family. Be selfless, not selfish. Love like you never seen pain before. And if you do not find the strength to do so, just make sure you find enough love for yourself. You are so strong my love. You have been through a lot and come out on the winning end. The world has tried to break you, but you never let it. Thank your past, for it has made you into a better person today. Not everyone you have meet is meant to stay around forever. People will leave you. On the other hand, you will also leave others. People will disappoint you, and all you can do is learn to thank them for what they have taught you. Thank the people who have stayed. Fill the spaces of the ones who have gone with new ones. Thank you for never giving up and being so tough. You inspire others and you lift them up. Stay strong. Stand up tall. Be more beautiful than ever. Make them wonder how you do it.You know you deserve the world, now go get it.
