I Have A Purple Heart

The Most Important Love Letter

Dear young one,

      I know right now you feel nothing but despair. I remember the way they would treat you, you don't deserve that. I know how unfair it seems, but sooner than you think, you will be thanking them. It seems impossible that you could be grateful for such cruel behavior, but you will understand when you make the slow transition from you to me. The actions of others have broken your soul into something unique and beautiful. It will be hard. You will need to learn to trust again. Your sad silence will turn to peaceful contentment, and then to uncontainable joy. You will meet many people that will help shape your new self. Stay with them and you will be happy. They are your family. Soon you will be able to look people in the eyes when you talk to them. You will learn to love yourself, slowly, and with the help of others, you will realize you are almost beautiful. Soon you won't want to hide from others, but instead seek them out. You no longer will despise the human touch, but instead find love and comfort in it. You will be full of happiness, and then one day, that will disappear. You will again be swallowed into the darkness and revert back to your old ways. It will be hard to go through, but it will eventually end and you will once again be full of happiness. Please, I'm telling you even though you don't want to, walk down that path, take that journey to become me. You won't regret a thing. This is a love letter, love yourself, and you will become free.

                            Wishing you luck,
                                            Yourself.
