For you.

To the untainted version of myself,

I know you are struggling to fit in. You are different and you want to be like others. But you are already beautiful inside and mostly on the outside. The scars in your body will soon disappear and you'll bloom into an amazing flower. You just have to see clearer.

Fat. Ugly. Stout. Flat nose. There's nothing wrong about the way you look. Don't listen to others, let them call you names because soon they'll know how wrong they are. It's just a phase my dear and there's nothing to worry about.

Don't rush yourself about things. There's a lot of time to experience them. Enjoy your youth, you'll only be a kid once. Stay innocent and don't lose that glow in your eyes.

I know you have a lot of questions that you are afraid to ask. But time will come where you'll understand them all. It'll come naturally, you just have to trust the process.

The feeling you're holding inside your chest, it's okay to unleash them. Be sad, be angry, be confused, be whatever you feel. It's okay, no one will judge you. And if they did, their words won't matter but what's inside you.

Live your life to the fullest, experiment and experience everything. It's okay to make mistakes, even a hundred of them. You just have to make sure that you'll learn something.

Never give up. Never lose hope. I know there are days where you feel withdrawn of the world but the things you're worrying about is just inside your head. Focus on what's important. The struggles are the one that'll make us unbreakable.

Don't worry, along the road you'll meet people who would help you appreciate the things you have. Those people will help you, you'll never be alone.

I know you'll enjoy life because I have been a witness. You'll be okay. We will make it. .

You ten years from now.

Author's Note: do you have something to tell your younger self? If you have the chance to write to the younger version of yourself, what would the letter say?
