reminder:
you are loved.
you are kind, you are incredible.
the bad days can be horrible,
but you can create incredible days
on your own.
i know you feel the need
to indulge sometimes
but substances will do nothing but harm.
even when you feel at your lowest,
even when sober is the last thing you want to be,
try to push through.
you are not less of a person
for using though.
you are human.
humans are incredible,
as are you.
humans have hard times
and faults.
humans make mistakes.
you can be free
if you believe.
you are strong.
you have the willpower that many do not.
you are someone many look up to.
you are a role model,
an inspiration.
people look up to you,
not only because you are smart and beautiful,
but because
you are brave.
you left on your own free will.
you got help.
you healed.
you're clean.
and you're still
human.
a breathing, living, beautiful human being.
thank you, from me
for healing yourself
thank you
for realizing
that life is so much more.
thank you
for believing in yourself.
–i always knew you could do it
