Hey you! Listen to me for a sec. I know you’re not one to listen, but please? I know it hurts, honey, and I wish I could say that it disappears. But in a few years the pain will still be there. Maybe a little worse or better, maybe from a different source, maybe a different type. But you can withstand it cause you’re strong. You have so many people awaiting your failure, but look around and see all the people standing by your side. You can do this babygirl, and I know that cause if you couldn’t: I wouldn’t be here. But here I am, and there you are. Now I know you’re gonna look back on this when you’re older and read it when you’re locked in the bathroom and crying. You’re giving yourself that pep talk in the mirror. While you’re doing that make sure you tell yourself it’s okay not to be okay for a bit. But soon enough you’ll put your crown back on your head and stand stronger than ever honey. You know that future you want so bad? The husband? And kids? Maybe a couple dogs and horses? Or a full out farm? You can’t achieve all that if you give up. So babygirl, believe in yourself❤️

I love you,

Future you
