Dear Past Self,

For the longest time I have hated and despised you, the thing that you were, and the ways you seemed to become worse with time. That like a toxic, untouchable, burdensome mess, you deserved every agony suffered and every ounce of misery endured as all these feelings were justified and deserved. For the crimes of willful ignorance and outright stupidity, there could be no punishment more deserved than death: if only to ease the burden your existence places on those you care for.

With time, patience, and the continued love and support of others I have come to realize just how truly wrong I’ve been, and can see now just how existing with the love and kindness you show to others every day, even when no one else sees it, has helped so many. Your compassionate and caring heart, while hurt, has still strengthened and brought the greatest joys to those you care for, and the friends you’ve made over the years.

You have within you the strength to persevere and endure the long harrowing years ahead, and you will thrive against all the odds as you always have done. While time will make you think on what you could have (and probably should have) done, it is more important to remember the good and great things you did for yourself and others. How against all the odds and impossible things, you are still here, and that you not only have but you deserve everything good and more.

Always remember that in spite of it all, the mistakes you’ve made and the pain you’ve suffered, life is better with you in it.

From,

Your future self
