Allow yourself to be happy. I know how many heartbreaks you've been through and how much sadness you've been keeping in your heart lately. I know sometimes you feel like questioning your worth because you feel like you are not enough in everything. But today, I want you to know that you deserve to be happy. I want you to stop settling for less than what you deserve and start appreciating yourself more often. I want you to be the best version of yourself, not to please others but to be proud of yourself. Little by little, I hope you plant love in yourself so that you will never grow into hatred.
I want you to see your worth because, all this time, you've been treating yourself poorly. I know how kind you are to others, but please don't forget to be kind to yourself too. Know to yourself that you are precious. I want you to know that you didn't deserve all the pain that you have received and endured for a long time. Allow yourself to heal as well. Not everything is meant to be broken, and so you are. I know that it's not easy right now because, for a very long time, you used to believe that you would never be okay. That you will never be happy. But today, I want you to remind yourself that it's not too late to become a better and happier version of yourself. And one day, I hope you'll finally realize that treating and loving yourself right will make you feel more worthy.
