I've written a lot of stupid letters to people on this website since I was 12. I'm 21 now. I used to have every single one bookmarked so I could go back and read them. Some of them have long been deleted because I knew it was time to let go of the past. 3 remain. All 3 of them about the different people who shaped me to be the person I am today... through a lot of heartbreak.

Today is about me.

I went through so much hurt and pain from those 3 people I could've sworn I loved and would spend the rest of my life with.

I gave and gave and gave but never received anything close to what I sacrificed in return.

At the time, that hurt.

But now, I am a better me.

I am someone I am in love with.

I am happy.

I am wholly myself.

No one gets to define me and my worth anymore.

So one day I might write a letter to the next boy I fall in love with and hopefully, he is the last because I finally figured out how to love myself and how to properly love someone else.

But today is a reminder for myself that I am enough.

I am kind.

I am gentle.

I am loving.

I am genuine.

I am worthy.
