Letter to myself

This is for the girl who watched and eventually learned to fear what she saw. This is for the girl who was beautiful as she was, but learned to hate herself, to change herself, to "fix" herself. This is for the girl who had a voice drowned out by the shame and misery around her. This is for the girl whose dad was her hero, who never understood what happened to him. This is my message to the girl:

You are enough, as you are. You are beautiful, sweet, kind, funny, and whole. Your dad is broken and he doesn't know how to fix himself. That's his job. Your job, your only job, is to go back to who you are, who you really are. There is nothing wrong with you. That's so important I'll say it again. There is NOTHING wrong with you. You are beautiful and whole, just as you are. Once you believe it, really believe it, your life will change.
