"Dear younger self,
When you are a child, you seek validations from everyone you have ever loved. You give and give and make it a habit because you believe somewhere that if you are just more—more pretty, more cool, more intelligent, more funny—then maybe, they will fall in love with you the same way you have fallen in love with them. You try to be as interesting as possible. You try to be the way your Mother wants you to be, you try to wear what your friends would like you to, and you live your entire life according to everyone else. When you grow up, you realize how much you hate the way you had to be. You despise how they changed you and turned you into someone you are not. You remember how toxic they were, how they hurt you and you wait for that apology that you know in your heart you are never going to get. Your Mother says a half-hearted sorry, but she still believes that you have ruined your perfect self just because you haven't turned out the way she desired. Your best friend thinks you have turned too cold because they no longer have access to you the way they used to. You try to be far away from them, but you know that they are still your family. And all the love that you have carried for them turns into bitterness. You want to prove that you are right. You want them to apologize to you, to say that they were wrong to hurt you, and that you are just beautiful the way you are. Somewhere, you still seek validations that you know you are never going to get. And when years pass by and you become older, you realize that sometimes it's better to accept the truth and move on with your life. You learn that it doesn't matter if they are your family or your life-long friends, sometimes removing them from your life is the only way to maintain your peace. It will feel unfamiliar, and you will want to return. Some days, you will even regret your choices so much that you will be desperate to call them and hear their voices and tell them that you hate to be this lonely. But you will realize that choosing yourself is never easy. It's unfamiliar because you have never made yourself a priority, because you have never learnt to make yourself happy all on your own. And it will be hard at first, but it will be necessary. You will learn to protect your space and your energy if you need yourself to grow into the version that you desire the most. And you will stop looking for validations and love elsewhere because you will finally realize that there's nothing people can offer you that you cannot eventually give yourself.
And you will be okay again. I promise.
Your older self."
