Sometimes, I'm pretty smart...

So, in case you, reader, have not figured it out yet, I sometimes have small self-esteem issues...but sometimes, I know myself better than I think I do. Years ago, I wrote three notes to myself. I don't know when, and I don't know what made me write them, but every so often I come across them. Usually at just the right time. I read them and then put them somewhere safe and forget about them until the next time I find them. I wanted to put them here so that maybe I'll run across them more often as I read through old entries.

Dear self -
You have talent. You don't have to have that "one special talent." Maybe you do have it. Maybe it's not an ordinary talent. It could be love for example.
People are not better than you. They just have different talents. Not everybody has to like you. The people who matter already do. In fact, the people who matter love you.
<3 Me


Dear self -
People love you. There will always be tomorrow. Things may change, but if it/they matter, they'll always be around. I love you. I don't always show it, but...I should. I don't tell you enough. Sometimes I think I don't save enough love for you. You love everyone sooo much...but that's good. Keep caring.
<3 Me


Dear self -
Keep your faith. People have noticed it, and I'm proud of you for it. Jesus loves you. NEVER FORGET THAT. God loves you, Jesus died for you. You are wonderful. Keep striving. I know it's hard but...Heaven awaits you. Bring souls with you.
<3 Me

Hey Kismet!
Those are really awesome, the first one especially struck a chord with me. I think I might use your idea for myself! <3

Kismet-
I really liked those. Notes to self aren't such a bad idea. I know in YW's I wrote a letter to myself and opened it when I turned 18, but I haven't done it since. It might not be such a bad idea to write a letter to my "future self." I hope you have a great day!
