Dear self, It's always amazing how you care so much for others and how you love them with all your heart, even when you forget about yourself sometimes. You often give so much of yourself to people, and you never hesitate to be there for them whenever they need help. You are a kind-hearted and genuine person. But let me tell you this, even just for once in your life— it will be more amazing if you also give yourself the love and care that you give to others. I know that you always try to put others first, but I hope you know that you also deserve to love yourself. Please love people without trying to lose yourself. You are also important. Your feelings matter a lot, and you also deserve to be heard. You deserve to treat yourself right, just like how you treat others with love and respect. Appreciate yourself every day, and never forget that as much as other people need you, you also need yourself. Love yourself as much as you want to love others. It will be unfair if you love others so much while you can't even love the one that you see yourself every day in the mirror. — Shiori X Art: Naya Ismael *text not mine
