Letter to Self

@VioletNotes

Aww this is an awesome idea fr...(Soz but i m out of this...alex's frouting rn)

Hugs fr

Here's my example!

[Dear Self,

       Mod Anne the tea cup on 7 cups told me to write to you... so I'm going to listen, because Anne is pretty cool. I'm right on the verge of a whole new life! In 10 short months I'll be 18 and away for college, so here is a letter for my future self - who I know will be scared moving away for university.

        Self, you are on track to be valedictorian and your test scores are in the top 2%, so I know you got into the school of your dreams (Boston University). Even though you're a small-town Kansas girl, I know you'll keep up in that big, bright city. 

       Stick to your dreams. I know your passion for improving the human condition will shine through as you begin your studies in international relations. You've got this, me.

With Love,

Your past self! ]

If you don't want to actually write a letter, when's a time that you have written a letter? Or what would you write about if you did? Hypothetically? 

@VioletNotes i don't have any idea about what to write soooo ill try to think of it and ill post it when it's ready 

@VioletNotes I'll try to remember to do this! I'll be thinking of what I can write...

@VioletNotes I wrote a letter to myself and it actually made me feel lighter and understood (understood by my own self). ❤️ This was an wonderful idea. Here's the letter :

Dear self, 

              Mod Anne the tea cup on 7cups told me to write to you, so here's me writing a true and lovely letter to you.

I know you more than anyone else in the world do. So, I want to tell you that I know how sensitive you are and how things affect you. I have heard all your silent cries. I care for you even if anyone else does or not. I understand you even if no one else comprehends. I know that you weren't at fault for all those things but still got blamed. I can see how badly hurt you are, even if no one else tries to see. I know how many traumas and difficulties you are going through. And, I'm proud of you for staying so strong even after going through so much. I do not know, how, where, and in what condition you will be in next 5, 10, 20 years, healed or unhealed, joyful or terrible. But, I know you will always keep trying and you will never give up. This is what I love about you the most.❤️ I hope you heal and come out stronger and happier from everything. I love you, self. 

                                         Lots of love,

                                                     Self

Dear self, Mod Anne the tea cup on 7cups told me to write to you. I know what you are thinking. I know your past haunts you every time it crosses your mind, and what could my younger self say that could be so possibily important? right?

But there is no one else in the world that knows you better than I do. I am your younger self after all. I am that little child, in your heart seeking your love and affection, seeking a place of refuge, a place to feel safe and happy and be myself again. When people come in and out of my life, I make places for people in my heart, but I never made a place for myself. A place for you. I take a piece of the memories and the moments I spend with people and build it into my own heart because I know what its like to feel broken, but you have to hold on to that little bit of hope somehow.

I never imagined, you would come this far or if you ever will come so far but wherever you are right now, whatever you are doing or whatever your feeling, embrace it. Honour everything you feel. I couldn't be more proud of the girl you have become.

Look at your life. 5 years... 10 years.... 15 years...20 years... and heavens know how many years are coming after that. You've made it so far. When your on a journey, you will fall, but never look back. Just keep walking forward. If you look back, only the darkness of your past will torture you. 

You've fought so many monsters and demons in your head, you've fought for a future thats your own now. No one can beat you up or hurt you. No one can yell at you or tell you its all your fault. Its just you. You don't have to live in the fear of being unsafe in your own home anymore. You live in the grace of knowing your safe under your own roof in the happiness of your own heart.

I know you hated these words growing up, because it was *** for you. But your younger self hated it too. But this isn't from a stranger, or from your mom or your dad who never loved you or from a friend. This is from YOU. Your younger self. The person you once were. But I want to tell you...

I love you. 

Lots of love,

Your Younger Self.

Mod Anne the tea cup on 7cups told me to write to you, so here's me writing a true and honest letter for you with all honesty i don't think you are doing better probably worse but you know those stuff made us who we really are and shaped our personality to the fulllest, i hope you made it through senior year and into college no matter if takes longer than expired you still made it and that's what counts. 

Something inside keeps telling me that it Will get easier and i hope it did for you even though i don't totally believe it but make sure to never lose track of that voice its whats keeping here it is your hope the fuel " am not okay now but i know one day I will " the only thing you can do is hold on tight on it until that day comes it might take long but that's okay 💗

Also don't get lost in the darkness of your thoughts and how loud they are to make you forget about enjoying the small moments of laughter and joy with ppl you love and don't forget about the ppl who loves you i know you might think you are " unlovable" but it's wrong and deep down you know you have a lot of friends but you are scared of leaning on them for a little while and chose to suffer in silence every time . I hope one day we will be able to change that in ourselves but tell then it's okay not to be okay and plz ask for help when needed . 

With lots of love younger you 💗

@VioletNotes love this spark of creativity and the amazing way you've all used my inspo + starting sentences 💖 The highlight of July

@VioletNotes dear self ,it’s okay if you make  mistakes ,everyone does so don’t blame yourself for everything enjoy your life and work hard to achieve your goals no matter what happens I’ll be proud of you in the future and I believe you can do it 

@VioletNotes I'm unlovable
