We're hoping that you are received with the love and joy you deserve- but know that there are people who will receive you with love and joy. I wish I could go back and tell myself at 11 how wonderful life can be 💜 #lettertomyyoungerself

I wasn’t babied as a child, so I baby myself now. I wasn’t told I was pretty, so I tell myself I am. I was praised for what I could do, so now I practice doing nothing and finding peace there. This is my message to my younger self.

Day 25: A Letter to the Girl Who Learned to Survive
There was a long time when I didn’t know how to write a message to my younger self. Not because I didn’t have things to say, but because I didn’t know how to look at her without wanting to scoop her up and protect her from everything she had to carry too soon. So instead of writing to her, I became her.
