Dear Past Me,
Dont you dare look at yourself in the mirror and think why me
These things are happening
To form you into who you are
Who you will become.
Dont you dare try
to become someone you arent.
Dont change yourself
just because someone told you
That you arent beautiful
That you arent good enough
That you arent worth it.
Dont you dare listen to yourself,
when you start to agree with them.
Dont you dare listen to yourself,
When you become your worst enemy.
Hold your head up high darling,
you're more intricate than the roots of an 100 year old tree.
Youre beauty lies in your heart
Not in the crooked opinions that corrupted your mind. Not in the mind that has let every hurt and insecurity
Seep and soak.
You are here for a reason,
I know that now,
And as much as I wished I had known then, I cant change the past.
But I can change the future.
So hold your head up high.
Look people in the eyes.
Earn respect, because you are a human being, and no one
and I mean no one can take that
away from you.
Sincerely A Time Traveler.
