Dear Me,

You're doing better than you think, darling. I've known some strong and resilient people and let me tell you, you remind me of them.

Because you smile and sing and dance and laugh into the face of your problems. And it fills me with hope, not because you choose to ignore what life throws at you, but because you choose to accept it and embrace the good parts still.

Those fleeting brief moments when we're alone in the dark and I whisper my darkest, scariest fantasies to you, and you laugh. You laugh and remind me that the Sun will rise in a couple of hours.

And the new day will bring hope.

Keeping this in my thoughts,

Me

Dear Me,

You are your own light.

Even if you shine less bright than you used to, or the darkness around you seems to grow deeper each day. Colours may fade and flames may dwindle, but you persist. You always do.

You are my warmth, you are my guide, you are the last beam of an extinct star traveling for millennia, you are the new constellation in its place.

Please don't stop believing in the Sun just because some days the sky is full of clouds. They're only temporary. But your light is everlasting.

Patiently waiting for your dawn,

Me

one thing at a time. one chore, one assignment, one task, one day. one at a time and go from there. breathe. you can do this- this one thing.

Dear Me,

Stay strong, darling. Please.

I know everything feels like it's about to collapse and that the only way out is for everything to get worse before it gets better.

But it will. Trust me, please, belive that it will get better.

I can't give you hope. That is something that needs to grow inside you independently, despite everything, in spite of everything.

Don't be afraid to lean on others, don't be afraid to lean on me. We will get through this together.

Right there beside you,

Me

may all of you get to experience being loved properly

Dear Me,

You're at war with so many things right now, it's breaking my heart just to see it. Sweet dreams have been avoiding you for a while or so does it seems.

But be strong, allow it all to wash over you like a wave, allow it to blow your hair in your face like the wind, and don't rush trying to pick up the little pieces left behind. You don't have to get it over with. The world turns whether or not you loose the battles, so you might as well take your time with each one.

And you are strong. Don't forget that. You've survived far worse and you're prepared for even worser to come. Don't you ever forget that.

For I am forever thankful for your sacrifices and your suffering, because it means I get to see another day. And all the beauty in this troubled world.

Don't lose hope.

Love,

Me

Dear Me,

I miss you sometimes, you know. I look for your hands in my hands, for your eyes in my reflection, for your voice in the songs I sing to myself.

But you're not there. And I know I won't feel whole until you're back, so I search for you, I call out for you, I long for you. But you're still not there.

There are many reasons why you choose to leave. This world is full of bitterness, harsh words and even harsher opinions, sometimes even the ones you trust hurt you. I understand why you stay away.

And I'll protect you, don't worry. I'll withstand it all, for those moments when you come back to me.

For the mornings when I wake up, and I feel you right there in my heart.

Patiently waiting (as always),

Me

Dear Me,

You're such a wonderful person. Truly.

Ask any of your friends or even the people you meet briefly day-by-day. You're a shining light in the grey amalgamation of minutes and hours, and always ready to share your positive energy with others.

I love that about you, I hope you know that. It keeps me holding on.

With love,

Me

[loveletters-to-myself]

Dearest Me,

I'm writing just to tell you that you are loved. You are loved because I love you. I choose to love you every single day.

And I'm sorry for hurting you. I know I'm overly critical sometimes and I make you doubt yourself and question if you're on the right path. I'm working towards changing and it breaks my heart every time when I realise that I wasn't kind to you.

Please be patient with me. You're so strong and so full of life. Don't let anyone (not even me) take that away from you.

Thank you for loving me back despite all my flaws .

With love,

Me
