Penning A Letter To Your Older Self: Adore The Person You Would Become

Thank you for finally comprehending what you’ve been missing out on. It took some time, but I’ve finally become the person I’ve always respected and aspired to be. Growing up, I recall having a hard time figuring out who I was in the world. I didn’t know who I was or where I belonged because I was surrounded by so many different types of individuals. As a result, I’ve always strived to be the person that everyone expects me to be. It was now time for a change after years of allowing others to take advantage of me. It didn’t happen overnight; years passed. It’s a never-ending transformation that only serves to make me a better version of myself.

Thank you for letting go of those who were responsible for your downfall. Allowing people in and allowing them to leave is a normal part of life. But, rather than letting them go, I would keep people who didn’t deserve it. It was exhausting to devote so much of my effort to preserving these friendships and ties. It was challenging to constantly be the person they wanted me to be. You must let go of them in order to become the person you want to be. It hurt me so much to let people down, but they were always dragging me down. Every day, I thank those bad people for making me appreciate all of the true people in my life.

Thank you for repairing important bonds. When you’re surrounded by individuals you think are your friends, it’s easy to put your true pals on the back burner. I was so focused on maintaining those petty ties that I lost sight of the actual friends and family who had always been there. These genuine people would be the first to contact me whenever I posted something somewhat depressing. I could always count on them to pull me up when I was down, no matter how long it had been since we had spoken.

Thank you for accepting that having it all together isn’t necessary. Thank you for persevering in the face of adversity and remaining hopeful even when the odds were stacked against you. Thank you for reminding me that I am valuable, gorgeous, intellectual, and loved.

I’m not the same person I used to be. However, the person I used to be has transformed me into the beautiful and strong woman I am today.
