A Love Letter to Yourself

Dear Self,
 

How are you? I know, you are probably not in the best shape and it’s all my fault for neglecting you for this long. I give everything to everyone, but I rarely think about what you need.

I am so sorry for always beating myself up, always putting everyone else’s opinions in front of my own, I am sorry for thinking and convincing myself that I am worthless simply because people told me so. I am so sorry for never standing up for myself. I just realized how much damage I have inflicted on myself. But, that won’t be the case anymore. Because you know what?

I AM important. I AM worth. I am incredibly capable and understanding person. And it’s time to give myself the respect I deserve. It’s time to stand up for myself. 

I promise I will be kinder to myself. I will attend to my needs. I will love myself. I will enjoy myself. And I will smile on myself and the silly things I do. I won’t allow anyone to disrespect me again. So don’t worry, everything is going to change now.

Sincerely,
Your Future, Better Self
