Don't press the flag. It does not matter. Unless you want some music while you read. But this does matter. I know sometimes we all feel down and don't feel good about ourselves. I do too. We all do at one point in our life. You can't do anything to prevent it from happening. It always happens. Even the most perfect of people sometimes feel down or they don't like something about themselves. I just want you to know that if you are ever feeling down, or feel bad about yourself. Get this into your head. It's not about what everyone else thinks. It's not about what your teachers think. It's all about what you think. Love yourself. Because you are enough to be loved. Things will get hard and you might scrape a knee. But if you love yourself it will always get easier. Many people don't like how they look or they compare themselves to other people. Especially in middle school. But it does not matter what they think or what your crush thinks. It's about what you think, what you feel. If you love yourself and do not care about what others think and do what makes you happy. You will feel better every day. Sometimes we hide our innermost feeling down below and cover it with a mask of fake happiness. I know because I do it every day. But YOU are enough. YOU are awesome. YOU are NOT nothing. YOU are capable of amazing things. I know I know that, but do you? People get you down. Maybe your best friend is becoming more distant or your friend group is changing. Maybe you are changing. We all feel awkward. But the best thing to do is to let it all out. Tell an adult. Or a trusted friend. Anything you can do to make you feel better about yourself because you are amazing, do. Because we all want to feel good about ourselves. Others. Others are one of the main reasons you feel down about yourself. Your friend has the newest phone, or you think your friend is prettier, or maybe you think you don't look as good as everyone around you. Well, the truth is, the reason you don't look good compared to others is because you doubt yourself. The feelings of doubt and that everyone looks better than you are absolutely normal. Especially in middle school. Well, here's what I gotta tell you, it doesn't matter. What matters is that you are a good person. The soul, the reason, the heart to be a good person is what really matters. My friends lately have maybe been noticing I have been I little bit nicer the past couple of days. It's because I'm trying to have that heart to be a good person. Truth is, there is no dark or light side. There are only people who chose to do bad things and people who chose to do good. No matter what you are feeling no matter what you think of yourself right in this very moment. You are loved. By your family and friends. Maybe not by who you want to love you, but if they don't love you for who you are. Then it's their loss. Because you are an awesome person. An amazing person. You are capable of amazing things. You are worth loving. You just have to see it yourself.
I wrote this for everyone who doubts themself because I know what it is like to feel this way. But I hope you know to love yourself. Because you are worth loving. -WOFpuppylover
