Dear Teenager Self pt2

If I could go back I'd hug you i'd let you know everything is going to be okay.


If I could go back I'd let you know what not to do like the drugs that made your life seem happy at first but then your episodes got really bad you think your bad now you only get worse after you get into the drugs.


You want all the pain and suffering to go away I now you do but I promise you your going to make it through the hard times I know its not easy but I promise you things will get better you just have to keep fighting for what you want and who you wanna be.


Dear teenager self I know you hate your life I know you wish you could die I know you want to shrivel up and never have to return to another day of misery but you just have to keep fighting.


I'm sure not everything will go how you wish it will actually I know it doesn't but that's okay because you make it out you'll make it if you keep fighting just don't give up okay.


I'm proud of the person you're becoming I know you have a lot of regrets but that's just part of life and you learn from your mistakes.
