Dear my older self,
If you're reading this, you're older than you were before. I hope you haven't turned into a boring adult. Dance when you feel like it and sing even if you still can't sing very well. Practice and sharpen your wit until it's as quick as it used to be. Check in with your friends and family more often. When others say they're happy, believe them. Make time for hobbies. Continue to challenge yourself. Don't put up with bullshit from anyone. Stand up for yourself. Strive to be as independent as possible. Know when to ask for help and know when to let others take care of you. Give sincere complements. You are so much more than what you let people see. Dare to open up and let trustworthy people in. You've got a heart of gold... don't hide it. Have the courage to fall in love. Have the heroism to confront and cut ties to unhealthy relationships. You are your own hero. You have the power to inspire and motivate others, use it. Allow your pain to increase your empathy. Don't let your health define you no matter how fatal it feels. You would be beautiful even if you were bald with no teeth and had bad skin. You would be beautiful even if you had to poop in a bag and eat through a feeding tube. Be skeptical of society. Don't break your neck to keep up with the latest trends. Set your own trend.
Love yourself!
