Love Letter to Myself

Dear me,

Love yourself, respect yourself, thank yourself, just as you are, with imperfections just as you are with few friends, with many friends, with what you have to do, with what you have already done, or with what you have stopped doing.

Love yourself, because you will always have yourself, at the end of the day you will be alone with yourself, and guess what? There is no one better with whom you can be.

Learn, absorb, ask, and once you are informed, give your opinion, give your opinion about everything and give your opinion with respect, give your opinion about how great life is, but respect it and question it. Respect the high mysticism that brought you to this moment that lets you not only write but read these words. That same mysticism allows you to love yourself question yourself, learn about yourself, search for yourself, only to lose yourself, and find yourself again on the journey.

Love your friends, love them with everything you have, because they are the family that you chose to walk this path with, and they are the family that holds your hand, that makes you laugh, sometimes cry, and above all that makes you look at yourself in the mirror. Take care of them, respect them, love them, and never let them go, friends stay forever. Learn to give them their space, just as you have often asked for yours. Learn to tell them how you feel, don’t be quiet if they hurt you, believe me, your friends never want to hurt you.

Relax. It is not as difficult as you think, there are not as many problems as you imagine; there are not as many enemies or villains as in the stories. Life is sweet, life is beautiful, and life is here to be enjoyed, don’t suffer.

If you want something, go for it, be grateful that you have it, be thankful for the abundance, even if others don’t appreciate it, never compare what you have, because you’ll find yourself in a hole from that won’t be easy to get out of. And why compare yourself if you are a beautiful person with unique qualities and opportunities?

And what about destiny from which these opportunities come? Love that destiny, respect it, don’t close the door to it, but don’t cling to it either. You will live many experiences to reach that destination, but there is not only one path, but you can also take several, you can go, come back and try again.

Don’t take so everything so seriously, leave your insecurities behind, people do not spend as much time thinking about you as you feel. You are important to yourself and to those who love you, stop projecting an image that you think others want to see.

Hug yourself, hug yourself hard, always hug yourself, and do it with love.

Feel, let yourself feel all your emotions, and express them, give them a name, don’t keep them to yourself. Crying, being angry, or shouting for joy are not weaknesses. Feel pleasure too, enjoy it without guilt, experience it, but always with responsibility and self-respect.

Love, love with madness and passion, love when you can. Don’t miss this incredible opportunity; let yourself go in the madness that is romantic love, feel it, live it without worry, without fear of getting your heart broken, without fear of failure, without fear of the future. Your heart will inevitably be broken once in your life, but don’t live in fear of that day, instead enjoy the process of it.

Go out, party, drink, but above all, dance, dance until you can’t take it anymore, and be grateful to your body that can feel the music, the cumbia, the sound. Be thankful to your body that allows you to make a fool of yourself without you feeling ridiculous.

Let go of your preoccupations, focus on what you can change, don’t exaggerate the future, focus on what you can work on today, tomorrow will be another day.
