#DearMe

So I was doing my usual thing, lurking around on the internet for something to do. I found something on Youtube about #DearMe, where you talk about what you would tell your younger self. Since I hate having my picture taken, let alone talking to a camera and posting it online for everyone to see, I decided to type it out and let you guy read it and see what you all think.

Dear Me,

What's up, Wallflower? This letter is coming from your older, not cooler, and still kind-of-a-loser self. Look, I know that things are getting hard and I know how you feel, and you need to pay damn good attention to this letter. Whatever you do, put down that silver. Don't start scratching. When you cry, don't muffle it. When you wanna scream, do it. Don't lock yourself away. When you're hurting, say something. When you wanna hurt someone, hurt your pillow instead.

Write what you feel. Don't hate yourself. Don't think you're nothing. Don't ignore your loved ones, and don't make them hate you. Reach out to someone who needs you, and to someone you need. Don't burn all your bridges. Don't build too many walls, because eventually when you have too many, even you won't be able to break through them. Don't be afraid to tell people what you're feeling. Don't be afraid to let people know who you really are. Show who you are before you forget. Because if you don't, you'll turn out like me, still trying to move past all my walls to find who I really am.

Please, please, please,

Remember that you're loved.

Embrace The DUFF Inside,
