Dear person who saved me from myself,

You probably don't even know it, do you? You don't know that before you - I was a broken person. In more ways the just the obvious. You've done so much for me in the time I've known you. I don't even know where to start thanking you. I only hope that someday I can repay you for making me feel this way. For making me feel alive.

I was so insecure when I met you. I hated myself and everything about me. I thought my eyes were too green, my nose was too big, my lips were too little, too much fat in all the wrong places. I was even insecure about my voice. I was afraid that no one would ever find comfort in hearing my voice, much like the way I find comfort in yours. You showed me that it's okay to not love everything about myself, but that doesn't mean I had to hate it. I've come to accept my body, my personality, my looks, and everything.

You showed me that I'm able to be loved. You showed me that even when it feels like absolutely no one will care, there will always be someone who does. You've shown me so many wonderful things such as the glass is always half empty, never full. But there is always an extra gallon of water that I can fill it with. You've shown me that working towards what I want, is the most amazing thing. You've truly saved me from the person I was. I was a miserable, awful, unhappy person, and I know they say you can't expect someone to love you until you love yourself, but that's not true. Sometimes it takes someone else loving you, to show you that it's okay to love yourself.

So thank you, to the person who saved me from myself. I really needed you.

Sincerely,

The Girl Who Didn't Love Herself
