Hey, you
Yes, you
You are not a burden
No matter how you may feel at times like this
You have every reason to snap sometimes
You have every right to
With everything going on in your head
How can you not?
Do not blame yourself
It is never your fault
You could have outburst after outburst
They would still love you
Because they're your friends
Your confidant
The people who have mutual trust and respect
They envy you
But they don't judge you
You aren't bothering them when you ask for help
Everyone needs it sometimes, even the strongest people
There are some battles you can't fight alone
No matter how hard you try
But that does not invalidate you
Your cries for help do not make you any less valid
Sometimes you might require some form of affection to feel it
But you are valid
Always have been
Blaming yourself is the worst thing you could do
So don't
Acceptance is key
Accept yourself for who you are
Who you might become
Who you will become
Think ahead and not behind
Your past does not and will not ever define you
You are beautiful
Inside and out
Never forget that
Never doubt it
You are gorgeous
You are amazing
You are inspiring
You are incredible
You are an inspiration to many
You are you
Never change yourself
Not for anyone
