Dear me,

I know it's tough at the moment but don't lose faith in everything you know is true! Don't second guess yourself. You are strong and know what is right. Just don't give up. Never let someone talk you out of your dreams. Believe in yourself and let go of the past. I understand that the present is overwhelming and you can't picture the future, but don't be afraid. Just embrace it, and I promise it will pay off. Ask for help. I know you feel like you're drowning and no one can see, but people aren't mind readers. Reach out. Get help. Don't let you lose yourself. Please don't waste your life trying to find yourself, you KNOW who you are. Please, please don't lose that. Remember what your dreams are, and don't lose that. Pursue it and succeed, and don't humble yourself from your success. Trust people to not let you down, but don't put your future in anyone else's hands. Fight for your future. Fight as hard as you can until you win. Don't dwell on your mistakes—learn from them. It's what makes you human.
