Dear Self

You seem to constantly forget that you are wonderful.
You forget that you were made for a purpose, and you forget to laugh.
You regret the things that you've done and you let them stunt you in the future.
You can't keep on living in the past.
You hardly ever let people come near your heart, and when you do it's for a short time because you're afraid. You smile when you aren't happy and you laugh when you'd rather cry.
Why?
You've put up a wall around yourself to keep people out. You've convinced yourself that what you do and say is right even though it ends up hurting you. You don't believe that you are beautiful, that you are talented, that you are smart. You don't believe that you are worth the love that God has given to you. You don't believe.

Start to see.
Start to understand the concept of love, the beauty of forgiveness. Start to allow people to come close to you. Live like your father would want you to. Love like there will never be a tomorrow. Show people who God has made you to be, and stop being afraid.
You have no reason to be.
See yourself for who you are, see others as they see you.
Refuse to judge, care with your heart on your sleeve, and breathe each day in and out.
Believe in the The Hope.
Dear Self,

Learn to love.
