Dear younger me,

Some times the days feel hazy, uncertain and all so scary
But take heart, because you have a best friend coming that will help you carry.

Right now, at 15 you’re dealing with your first heartbreak,
But one day you will look back and find that everything was not at stake.

Your size, your hair and even what you wear seems all so top tier,
But really what’s important is overcoming all the fear.

You’re struggling to find who you are and the right place,
But one day soon you’ll look in the mirror and see that you’re value can’t be replaced.

You keep searching for the answers and every time you think you’ve found it, it’s as if you’re slapped in the face,
But sweet girl, you’re only a child- I wish I could show you how to give yourself some grace.

If you knew then what you know now, you would have an easier time,
In fact, you would sail through these coming years instead of walking around as if you are blind.

So I leave you with these wise words to put your mind at ease,
Everything really isn’t always at it seems.
