Dear person who wrote, “today, I made a commitment to myself...” whether your words were literal or metaphorical, I completely understand having to deal with helping yourself heal from the damage you’ve caused. it’s not easy, it takes courage, and sometimes you’ll want to give in and give up, but it is so, so worth it. patience always brings better things, and I am so, SO proud of you for having that courage and that little spark of hope - just enough to heal your soul. you are beautiful, you are wonderful, you are special and worthy of all the world’s love and happiness. I love you so much, and even if you may not love yourself, taking in and nurturing that spark of hope shows how precious life is to you. you’re not willing to give up yet, and that’s something I truly admire. never lose that, it’s rare, and it’s a life saver (take it from me). again, I’m so proud of you and I love you, no matter who you are or what you’ve done, you deserve this. you deserve happiness and health and peace and glory-filled days and beautiful moments. you’re well on your way. 💕💕
