Ananda

Seven things I want you to know.

1. You are a good person. Whatever you’ve done in the past you need to know that. We all make mistakes and that’s OK, without mistakes we wouldn’t grow as people.

2. You are loved. Even when you’re at your worst, when you’re sad, lonely, crying in your room, you are loved.

3. You are beautiful inside and out. No matter who you are, no matter what you look like.

4. You are not alone. Even when things are at their darkest, know that someone else has felt the same, been through the same, and it’s OK.

5. You are capable. Capable of anything you set your mind to, and as long as you believe you can do it, you can.

6. You are strong. You pulled yourself through every hardship you’ve ever been through and if that doesn’t show strength, nothing does.

7. You have made it this far, you can make it further. ♦
