Dear Self,

 

Dear Self,

     I am writing you today to tell you what I have learned from you.  Since you often forget, I feel it’s important to remind you.

• You have taught me that I hurt; that pain is relevant and an important part of the process of where I’ve come.
• You have taught me that it is alright to cry.
• You have taught me how to soothe; how to sip hot cocoa and snuggle up with a funny movie and a blanket.
• You have taught me to create art; to make music and to write when I feel I am drowning.
• You have taught me that I am healed, even with these scars, even when they ache; that those are just phantom pains.
• You have taught me to be strong and push on.
• You remind me that even when I turn to food to comfort myself, I deserve to be healthy and to not self abuse.
• Most of all you have allowed my cosmic memory to become fully awake and remind me that I am an angel having a human experience.

     I appreciate and adore you.  I believe in you.  I am proud of where we have come together, what you have allowed me to let go and what we have gained.

     I just wanted you to know that I love you.

Sincerely,

Me
