I want you to know that you are beautiful, inside and out. I know that you struggle with insecurities about your body, your scars, and your weight, but I wish you could see yourself through my eyes. You are unique, with your own strengths and weaknesses, and that's what makes you special. Cal, I know that you have been through a lot, and that you have had to be strong for others. But you are allowed to be vulnerable too, and I want you to know that it's okay to take care of yourself. Sometimes we forget to love ourselves, but it's important to remember that we deserve that love and care just as much as anyone else. Your scars are not a sign of weakness, but of strength. They are proof that you have been through something difficult and survived. They are a part of who you are, and that makes you even more beautiful and unique. We all have our own insecurities, but I want to remind you that your body is a work of art. Your scars, like tiger stripes, are a testament to the battles you've won and the strength you possess. It's okay to struggle with feeling beautiful or attractive, but please know that you are a whole lot more than your body. Your kindness, your humor, your compassion, and your intelligence make you stand out in a sea of people trying to fit in. I want you to know that I am always here for you, and that I love you just the way you are. You are deserving of love, respect, and happiness, and I hope that you can see that for yourself someday. I know it's easier said than done, but don't forget to love yourself. You deserve all the love and care in the world. Treat yourself like you would a friend - with kindness and compassion. Celebrate your victories, no matter how small, and remember that growth takes time. You don't have to have it all figured out - life is a journey, not a destination. Keep shining, Calypso. Love, |Ash|
I dunno...you need to stop being mean to yourself. <3
