To My Younger Self,

I know you're hurting.

Believe me

I do

You're hurting

And

You want it to

Stop

You'll do anything to make it

Stop

But first

Let me say this

"I love you"

This hasn't been said to you in a while

I love you I love you I love you

I love you I love you

I love you

I need you to hear these words

And not just hear,

I need you to Listen

Know them

And carry them always

I know you feel alone

I know feel unloved

And I'm sorry that you're so

Unhappy

I'm not going to tell you that life isn't hard

(because it is)

And that you'll always be happy

(because you won't)

But I'm here

- I will always be here

And I will always love you

I promise to love you no matter what

Even when I don't like you that much

I still love you
