This is for me, for the future of me.
Monday, 9 October 2017 22:36Fae,
You are lovely inside. You are not perfect, and you may always hate yourself for it, but despite that, don't ever forget that you are a beautiful soul, and you are worthy. No one can take this from you or change it, because it is a part of your nature. Unless you let the hurt and the ugliness of existence poison this part of you, it will always be. This means that you have a solemn duty to yourself and the people who are in your life to Remember, to Guard, and to Be Wise... And this will be a hard thing to do. But only you can do it. You must do it.
Fae, you have a tender heart. You believe the best of people, you continually hope for the realization of what you see -- the finest inside others -- and you forgive when What Can Be is not What Is. You constantly trust, with a child's trust, that What Can Be is always possible. And it always is, even when it isn't probable. This is not wrong, but you must Remember that when What Is becomes too bitter, it is also right -- for you and for the ones in your life -- to Guard. Even when that tender heart of yours wants to stay unguarded. Don't stop loving, don't ever, but Remember, and love yourself too.
You will not always get what you want. You will not always be treated fairly or kindly. Not everyone will see you. And even those who do will not owe you anything for it. But I need you to Remember, all the same, even when others don't treat you with value, even when they really do see you, that your value exists, that it is costly and fine, and that they cannot detract from it. Neither should you.
I can't tell you that everything will be all right. But I believe in you. I don't want to see you fall. Most of all, I don't want you to tarnish, as you have allowed yourself to do in darker days. Head up, Lady. Don't forget what you are.
You are beautiful.
