Dear Self,
when did you stop trusting yourself? When did you stop believing what you were seeing? believing what you felt?
it's like the world itself is turned upside down when you don't believe what you feel. if you don't trust yourself, who do you trust?
Do you trust anyone at all?
Don't lie to me, I know you trust everyone around you more than you trust yourself.
I don't have to tell you that that's bigger than just a sentence.
You feel anxious, you feel dejected. You take rejections like your life line has been cut. Your happiness hinges on your peers who can be as inconsistent as the ocean under the influence of a mass of moon orbiting our world thousands of miles away.
Does that sound right to you?
No, I don't mean to be harsh. I come at you sideways but please, know that I only wish for you to get out of here without the crutch of medication. I crash right into you but I want for you to float, that's all. I want you to float. Whatever you need to do to trust yourself again, I hope you find it. I hope you do it.
I love you,
Yours Truly
