Write a letter or poem to your younger self sharing what you love most about him/her 1 years ago

Hello young friend. Let us walk.
To shoot the breeze and talk the talk
Things haven’t been easy
Since growing up, waiting for my happiness
With my still empty cup
However the best thing I can say that is true
Is there wouldn’t be me
If there hadn’t been you
Your Empathy for others is what I love the most
Like a graveyard that loves a friendly ghost
Your compassion, your heart, your ability to care
Wide eyes of compassion never replaced by a stare
Your heart of gold is as pure as can be, and your love for others is without a fee
These are things I admire in you
A love for humanity, I wish then I knew
Just how important these qualities would be
Before I gave the world time to harden me
So I’m taking back time and letting you know
While I’m now a red light you were always a go
I wish I had Empathy like you did again
It’s more of a now instead of a when
I wish I still had the ability to care
I’m much more truth then I’ll ever be dare
So I’ll go on living that knowing in me
There is an selfless person even myself didn’t see
As you grow up remember to not be so hard
And to not tattoo over the place that is scarred
For life isn’t all bad
If that’s the picture I drew
For you can’t fixed ripped paper
If you don’t have the glueVoting is closed

I love your words to yourself, positively you I presume! “There wouldn’t me, If there hadn’t been you” So true yet some of us are still running lol. Thank you for the uplift🥰

Andrea, you are right that “you can’t fix ripped paper if you don’t have the glue.” I love this line. Too often, we try to fix the broken parts of us before we are truly ready. In order to really heal, we have to be able to put ourselves back together. Thank you for sharing your poetry!
