Dear past Liz,

Thanks for visiting me from time to time.
We survived everything that still haunts our mind.

You visit in flashbacks, pulling me into our teen bedroom or school.
Being bullied for our weight & wondering how people could be so cruel.

You were depressed, self harming, bulimic, & suicidal. Life seemed to pass you by while you just remained idle.

You’ve made mistakes & you’ve hurt others, like constantly fighting with your mother.

We’ve lived many lives, especially in survival mode, but God made sure that we never did fold.

I know life’s been tough, but nothing that you can’t manage.
You have a creative brain, remember to use that to your advantage.

Despite what people may say, you’re not a failure or a mistake.
You’re a beautiful creation that God did make.

You’ll be going places- if only you knew!
All because you have God that will never abandon you.
