Be Honest. Be Brave.

Just remember that your past is the reason you're here right now in this moment. It has made you into this amazing human being who has lived a life full of good and bad things and you got through it. So never let someone make you feel like you don't deserve something because of a mistake you made before you knew any better. We all have to make mistakes so we can learn from them baby.

You are the only one who needs to forgive your mistakes. Do not let someone else hold that power. Because if you do, it will take a long time to take that power back. So be proud. Embrace your mistakes. No one has the right to make you feel inferior. Please remember this honey. Because it's going to happen. People are going to hurt you, but it will make you a stronger person.

Don't worry about the people who leave when they find out about your past. They aren't worth the hurt. You will eventually find the people who will love you no matter what. Those are the people who are worth it. Never let someone else decide what you are worth because you are so much more than what other people see on the outside.

You are made of your mistakes and failures. Your triumphs and happiness. You are made of stardust and smiles and tears. You were wonderfully and fearfully made by a God that will love you forever. Remember this. You will live a long life full of good and bad things. Don't let your bad things overshadow the good.

Think of that voice in the back of your head. Whoever it sounds like; you, your parents, your best friend, they are the types of people that you need. People who care and are willing to tell you when you have made a mistake, but who won't judge you for it.

Remember that you were beautiful before anyone ever told you and you will be beautiful after they leave. This is important. On those days where you can't even look into a mirror without remembering what that person said about you don't look. It's okay. But the next day take hundreds of pictures of yourself. Even if you don't save them do it. Remind yourself that you are beautiful. Always.

Tell yourself you look beautiful everyday. Even if you don't believe it at the moment, you'll start to believe it. Loving yourself takes time. Especially in a world that continuously tells you that you need to change everything about you to be "pretty." Baby, please don't believe them.

Love yourself. Don't let others label you. Never let your past get in the way of your future. Learn from your mistakes and let others learn from yours too. Be proud and never let someone decide you don't deserve something. These things are going to be hard. You're going to get hurt sometimes. You're going to make bad choices at 3 a.m. after a bad fight with someone you love. That's okay. You have to learn sometime my dear.

Love yourself even after you make mistakes. Don't let your mistakes stop you from living. Be honest. Be real. That's all you have to do.

Love,
Natalie
