Dear Girl Who Doesn't Think She's Worth It,

There isn't a single thing you could do that wouldn't make you worth it, you are worth everything and then some. You are good enough, in fact you are more than good enough. You are an incredible person and maybe not a lot of people know that, have gotten to know that or will never know that. You are deserving of so much more than what that little voice in your head is telling you. I know it might not seem like there's much out there for you and you have lost your way but trust me when I say that there is something so unique and special about you that no one else has, and that makes you worth it.

I have been right where you are. I have been at rock bottom.

I have been hurt more times than I like to admit.

I have loved but not been loved back.

I have let people try to tell me who I am or who I should be and I have given out more chances than others deserve.

I have learned that people are ruthless with your heart and that trust takes time.

I have given out so much love that wasn't returned and I lost sight of loving myself. In fact, I spent more time trying to get love from others but spent no time trying to love myself. I always thought that the love I wanted from others so badly would be enough, and boy was I so wrong! Loving yourself should be a main priority, even when it's the hardest thing you have to do.

I have spent those same late nights thinking about how wrong I was and about how stupid I was being. I have spent the same amount of time worrying about whether I was going to be "good enough" for everyone else but never spent time wondering if I was acting in a way that was good enough for me. It took me countless sleepless nights to realize that once I started loving me, and all of me, everything about me, that I would be worth something.

Yes, you will have bad days and you will feel like quitting.

You will have people leave without a reason.

You will wish you were as pretty as that model you stalk on Instagram and you will wish you had Kim Kardashian's closet.

You will struggle with the fact you got a C on your final.

You will regret eating that pint of ice cream.

We all have our flaws and we all have baggage and we all have complex parts about us that others may not understand but once you love all those complicated things about yourself, you'll understand just how worth it you are and then others will love those intricate moving parts of you just as much.

But you are worth something and you will eventually look back at this time and think, "How did I ever let myself think like that"? You are good enough, you can do whatever you set your mind to, you are worth it. And one day, someone will come along and show how worth it you are and make you doubt every single negative though you have about being enough.

Whoever it is that you want to be or who you are, be that person carelessly and without regret, because you are worth it and do not let anyone ever tell you aren't worth it or aren't enough.

In the wise words of Miley Cyrus "Nobody's Perfect."

Sincerely,

A girl who once lost sight of her worth
