To my teenage self.

Life seems like it should be one way but isn’t always the way you think it should be.

Remember to trust yourself no matter what you have been told.

You are unique and should be loved no matter who you are.

Family love is sometimes conditional.

Life is a jumble, a puzzle. Find the pieces that fit and work with them to make your puzzle.

It’s ok to look for help.

Be the person you’re meant to be, even if it goes against your upbringing.

You can’t fully let someone else love you until you love yourself.

Someone else’s love shouldn’t define you.
