| To the Talia of tomorrow and after that:
I'm writing this because recently you've been losing yourself. It may be a bad case of PMS, but just in case it isn't I'm here to write you some inspirational words. Not so inspirational, but as a reminder of who you are and what you're capable of doing.
It must be tough because you're far from home, and your life is changing. Don't fret, this isn't a bad thing. This is growing up. If you can't rely on yourself, then there will be no hope for you. Please don't give up. It's okay to rest on the way but don't you ever stop or try to turn around. You're strong. Although you think with your Heart, don't forget you can be wrong. You're still young and you can still learn. You are learning. The most beautiful thing about mistakes is that you are able to try again so you can do it right. You are beautiful. Nobody is completely perfect, inside or outside. That is exactly what being human is about. But, you are trying and sometimes that's just enough. Remember that in time those who do not know what you do will make mistakes and learn. Let everyone learn, even yourself. Later on you'll realize that when you are patient for others to learn, it will be easy to forgive. Forgive, do not forget, but do not remember. Do not forget the things that have hurt you in the past, because then you will know what not to do. However, do not bring them up out of spite, they are lessons learned. Scars are not meant to be re-opened; especially by the one who was inflicted. Be confident in who you are. You are loved because of who you are and what you do. There will be times where you doubt yourself, but don't rush yourself, think it through. You are never alone. You are alive because you were loved by many people. They are alive because they were loved by you. Life is precious. We live so we may know happiness, sadness, anger, and all the other countless emotions. To be alive is a wonderful and exciting thing. Some people do not realize this until faced with death, and then it's too late. Patience is essential. The world revolves ever so slowly, our bread bakes even slower perhaps. Which is why we need patience. To realize, to comprehend, to understand. And lastly, human beings are made up of 65% water, and 35% love. Whoever you may encounter, remember to love. Love your family. Love your friends. Love your lover. Love your enemy. Love your World.
In anytime you need a boost, read this.
Love, Talia
