TO THE GIRL I USED TO BE

Dear younger me,

I know you used to worry about so many things. You thought you had to figure everything out quickly, and you were scared of making the wrong choices. You compared yourself with others and sometimes wondered if you were good enough.

I wish I could go back and hold your hand for a moment. I would tell you that it's okay to grow slowly. It's okay to change your dreams. It's okay if some people leave.You don't have to make everyone happy to be worthy of love.

One day, you'll become stronger than you ever imagined. You'll understand that the difficult days were not the end of your story—they were part of it.

So please, don't be so hard on yourself. Keep your soft heart. Keep dreaming. Keep going.

You are going to be okay. And I'm proud of you for making it this far. 🤍
