Dear younger me,
You won't be prepared for half the stuff you're about to go through
But I'm here to tell you the honest truth
No matter how many mistakes you make
And no matter what people say
You have to remember no mouth other than your own can label and define who you are
The mistakes you make will turn into life lessons that will transform into newfound strength
So do not beat yourself up over every little thing
Refrain from letting yourself get buried to your mind's darkest pit
There may be a war inside your own mind and heart but you must fight it
And even when you feel like you have failed and have reached your lowest point
Please don't give up
Keep fighting because I promise you there will be better days ahead
Acknowledge and embrace the blessings all around you
And remember how much you are worth
For you are incredibly loved and appreciated and hold so much value
Even if you don't think you can love yourself right now
I promise you soon enough you will recognize the beauty you hold inside and out
So stay patient and continue growing into the woman you are becoming
For I'd say the amount of strength you'll attain is truly something
Love, Rachelle
