remember that time you sat there crying in the corner of your room?

remember when you were so overwhelmed with emotions that you couldn't hear any of your thoughts?

remember the way you couldn't

breathe after you lost someone you love?

remember how you could feel an ache in your chest from the consuming emotions?

take all of these feelings, all of these moments, and turn them into something new

take the tears, take the thoughts,

take the emotion, take the fears,

and make them something new

turn them into tears of laughter, thoughts of encouragement,

feelings of self love,

and strength

it isn't easy and you will need help,

but you owe it to yourself

the bad feelings will return and you will have to fight, once again, against your demons

but you need to realize

you need to see how amazing, how smart, how unique you really are

you have much more to offer than you think and everything you do is magnificent

because you, my dear, are
