Dear you,

mandakatt:

I want you to fall so deeply in love with yourself that you forget what it ever felt like to be hurt by someone else.
I want you to love every inch of yourself from the little frizzy hairs sprouting on your gorgeous head that used to always annoy you.
To the stubby toes you used to hate in the summer.
I want you to love the creases you get under your eyes when you smile.
I want you to love your tummy that you’ve always been so insecure about.
I want you to love the way you walk, talk and breathe.
I want you to love the way you live, the way you exist. 
I want you to love yourself the way you love sunsets, purely and full of joy. 

I want you to remember that you have what it takes.
You are good at what you do.
You are loved and cared for.
Your life has purpose.
You can do what you put your mind to.
You are protected.
You are so strong, and so intelligent.

That all of this, is worth it. 

Remember to look how far you’ve come, and I want you to imagine how far you’ll go.

With all my love,
Me
