Write a letter to the you that didn’t think they were enough 14 hours, 58 minutes ago My Dearest Me,
Nathalie SotoMy dearest Natalie,
Life goes by so fast
To think at age 17
You thought you’d never last.Adulthood seemed so forbidding
Who knew you’d go on living?
I know it’s all so tiring
So lay your head to rest.As you look in the mirror
What do you see?
Every flaw, scar and heartache?
My dearest NatalieThough the doors keep on shutting
And your walls are being built
I love you unconditionally
I love you, my younger selfI hold you in my arms
And tell you I’m so proud
You made it to age 24
You are strong, without a doubtLive to see another day
I promise that it’s worth it
and always remember
There is nothing like the presentVoting starts August 21, 2025 12:00am
