Dear Self

To myself as you can see...

Dear Self,

                It’s been a while since I’ve written to myself. When I was in school some of my English teachers would have us write letters to ourselves. The letter contained what we wanted to achieve for that year, but this letter is going to be completely different. Yes, I am still trying to reach my goal. That is to lose weight and become the weight that is healthy for me. As I said this letter is different…

                It’s been hard on you for the last couple of years, but you have to pull yourself together. You have to keep going and be happy. It’s difficult right now and many people can understand. They may not know how you feel, but they can help you. Some people care others don’t, but you’ll get over it, right? You’re stronger than you think. You’ve gone through so much you don’t know how much more you’ll suffer through.

                You’re depressed and your parents never realize it. Another reason is you don’t always sleep because insomnia hits you. And when you do sleep you only get four to five hours a day. You’re not always tired. You are normally wide awake at night. You need to try to sleep more. Depression also hits you at the same time. No one ever understands what’s going on. You don’t open up and you should, but you can’t. Some people you trust more than your own family, but you need to trust your family.

                Your family loves you, but you don’t always think so. With all the yelling that goes on. Sometimes you get annoyed, but you know you love your family. You have your moments and they have theirs. You should all just respect each other, but there is not respect. No one gets privacy. And you need yours.

                You have to pull yourself together and realize that no one is against you. They just want to help because they love you. Yes, you have lost so many people, but you have to remember that they loved you. They wouldn’t want you to be sad, but you are. Know it’s not your fault, but sometimes you feel like it is.

                Sometimes you cry yourself to sleep, but you shouldn’t. You don’t need to feel the feelings you do. You don’t want the memories either. You don’t feel pretty, but you are. You also feel unloved, but you are. Stress over everything overwhelms you too, but remember you are beautiful you shouldn’t feel that way. It’s hard, but you’ll get over it.

                To wrap everything up…you’re beautiful…don’t let anyone make you think otherwise. You’re strong and you will make something great out of yourself in the future.

Love,

Angie Diane

[Leave me alone....]

this is exactly what a lot of people need to hear. Your letter, a lot of people can relate because they could be going through the same things. its great that you wrote a letter to yourself because it just helps to tell yourself that things do honestly get better. a lot of people don't realize just how amazing they are, but you show that you know how beautiful and smart you are in your letter, which is good. I wish a lot of other people would do the same and realize that life does get better, and that not everything is going to be given to them on a silver platter, and you seem to know that and say it in your letter. Nice job Angie, i wish other people would take the time to do something like this.
