Write a letter or poem to your younger self about why he or she shouldn’t worry about the future 4 months ago Dear younger self
Courtney BekselDear younger self,
I know you are sitting in that yellow chair wondering why mom never showed up. You’re feeling like you’re not worthy of love and wondering if there will ever be anyone in your life who won’t run away. You blame yourself for the adults that have failed you. I know it seems impossible but with time it will get better. You will find people who not only love you but make you feel safe. You find a husband who gives you the Cinderella story you dream of having. You no longer dream of running away and finding a better place. You’re in a space that’s full of peace and warmth. I know it’s not easy but it will all be worth it so, hang in there sweet girl all of your dreams will become a reality.
Sincerely,
Your future self.Voting is closed
It’s so good to hear you have found a safe place. The peace you have found is yours to keep and enjoy because you deserve it! While the feeling of abandonment was once strong, you found a place and a person to fulfill your dreams, and you show us that this reality is possible for all of us. Thank you for sharing!

Aww, a child is never at fault for a parent’s shortcomings. I am so glad you found the love you deserve from a wonderful partner. You so deserve it. Sending hugs. <3 Lauren
