To my younger self,
Please know one day, you will be loved. You will be safe. You will be thriving. They cannot hurt you anymore because you will be strong. You will escape from their hold and control your own life. They do not win.
One day, you will realize all you need is yourself. And you are everything you will ever need in this life.
One day, you will understand that they did not have the capacity to love or to be healthy. Please know there is nothing “wrong” with you. You are worthy of love and deserve the attention you so deeply long for. You are NOT a burden or a nuisance. You are a child. You have yet to understand how the world around you works. But you will soon learn.
One day, you will learn to accept love without feeling like something is owed for that affection. You will feel worthy of others’ time, attention, and love.
One day, you will feel safe. You won’t feel afraid of being abandoned or neglected. You will be your own safe harbor. And no one can take that away from you.
One day, you will understand that none of this is your fault.
One day, you will find your inner strength and make your life everything you want it to be.
Please know, sweet one, that it will all be okay one day. You are safe. You are loved. You are enough.
Sincerely,
Your Older Self
