Little notes.
If there’s one thing I could say to my younger self right now, it’s to apologize for not becoming who I wanted to be, a hero that could save the world. But, I would also tell her how proud she should be, that I kept going even on the hardest of days. I would tell her that no matter how cruel the world is, I remained kind. No matter how much pain I’ve been through, I never chose to give the pain back to anyone. I would tell her how I learned to choose myself. After years of putting everyone else’s happiness before mine, I finally learned to choose me. And the most important thing of all, being a hero doesn’t mean you need to save the world. I learned that you can be someone else’s version of a hero by simply not giving up on them when they have already given up on themselves.
