Things I wish I was told growing up: It’s okay to let your guard down. You’re tiring yourself out. It’s okay to just sit in silence. It’s okay to take time alone, you need to heal. And it’s okay to need to heal, and it’s okay to not be okay. It’s okay to take days off, and it’s okay to not be perfect. You’ve tried so hard already, don’t wear yourself out. Even if it’s just laying in bed and watching movies, that’s okay. I can make you a grilled cheese and bring you some water or whatever you’d like. It’s okay to be vulnerable. And it’s okay to cry, whether it be privately, or publicly. There’s always a shoulder to cry on here. It’s okay to be upset. It’s okay to be disappointed. It’s okay to be sad. It’s okay to be tired. It’s okay to need, and it’s okay to be honest. Sometimes the hardest truths are the hardest said, even if it’s about yourself. It’s okay to try your hardest and still not make it. It’s okay to not have good grades. It’s okay to not succeed. You put your best in, even if your best was just looking at or thinking about it. It’s okay to forget to do something. It’s okay to be weird. Weird? You have different interests than others, and that’s okay, and that’s not weird. You have different intensities in interests than others, and that’s also okay and most certainly not weird. It’s okay to just BE YOU. I’m proud of you. I’m proud that you’ve made it all this way. I’m proud of you for pushing through. I’m proud of you for being here. I’m so, so, so damn proud. And I’m proud of who you’ve grown up to be. I love you. I love you so much. I love to see you happy. I love to see you smile. I love to hear your laugh. I love to talk to you, and I love the time we spend together. I love you for your ins and outs, through your ups and downs because that makes you, you. You are worthy of being loved, and you are worthy of living. In fact, you deserve to be loved without asking to be. You deserve to be loved without doing anything. You deserve to live and experience and enjoy. You deserve a happy life. You deserve beautiful, harmonious life. You deserve to be happy. You deserve to be comforted. You deserve to be surrounded by those you love. You deserve to be hugged for the sake of having someone to hold. You deserve what you’ve earned. You deserve it all. YOU. DESERVE. IT. ALL. I hope you see yourself the same way I do, because you’re beautiful, extraordinary, kind and compassionate, loving, patient, bright, and most of all, you. I love you and I’m so proud of you. I will always be here for you.
