Letter to self,

Dear xyz year old me,
You're the finest woman you'll ever meet and you're only going to get better from here. The ultimate purpose of life is to be the best version of yourself and you're the best anyone can get. You can cook your own food, you're smart, you can cheer up a dead body, you're living off your own money, and there's nobody that you depend on for anything. You're your best company and you can make someone's life let alone making someone's day. You stand up for what you believe in, you stand up for others and for yourself and no one can fool you. Sure you need love, but you know how to get it too. You don't need reassurance about how amazing you are because even if the world says otherwise, you know you wouldn't question it. You don't settle for less than you deserve and you don't feed people's ego, you do make them feel great about themselves though because that's the kind of wonderful person that you are. You're a lot stronger than you give yourself credit for, you never crumble no matter how broken you feel inside; you always come out stronger. You inspire me. You're the kind of woman I'd hope my daughter grows up to be. Had a rough day? so what? Who doesn't? Will you ever question that you're enough? No. Because you're more than enough. You're too much. Too honest. Too kind. Too strong. Maybe a little too good for those around you.

Of course you make mistakes, and you sometimes need a little hug or a shoulder to cry on, but does that mean you're weak? No. It only makes you human and what a wonderful one at that. You're a 100% evolved human species, just as god had hoped for all of us to be and you're only striving for better. You will excel at everything you take up, be it work, be it love, be it family. You feel everything so very deeply that most around you aren't capable of. You're the kind of woman you drowns oceans. You're a kid at heart, you need your share of affection, sometimes, you need people to fight for you and stand by you the way you'd stand by them. But my dear, that doesn't always happen. Forgive them anyway. They'll know what they lost when they have to. And even if they don't, it wouldn't matter, because you'd know and that's what's most important. Your relationships may/may not work out. Boys can be total jackasses and you already know it, they're behind you in the biological clock. You'll always walk out a better person in the relationship anyway, guilt free, full of love and maybe a few lessons. You're compassionate, loving and sensitive. And those are wonderful qualities not everyone is blessed with. So love yourself anyway, because nobody else matters as much. You do. And you should always come first. Put yourself first, love yourself first. Nobody should ever be able to make you feel inadequate. Hold hands, but never lean on. You have two feet, and you're going to stand on those very two and make the world a better place. Someone somewhere is going to be worthy of your time, so don't waste it on those who aren't. And don't wait for them either. The only thing you should ever be waiting for is the next best thing you're going to achieve. Be unstoppable. It's a phase my love, you're not drowning. You're just learning to swim. :)
