A letter to me

Girl, you don’t have to be so damn critical about yourself. Forgive who you are and let your inner self be what it meant to be.

People will judge whatever you do. Doesn’t matter if is something good or bad. The only certainty we have is that people will judge and be mean, sometimes. They will criticize a post that you made, a thing that you said and even how you should be. But listen to me: who they think you should be is only a superfluous thing, not who you really are. Take me serious.

I know you better then anyone else. I am you. I know that you feel terrible about what people are going to say, but you have to be stronger. We need to be better, we can be better.

Please, don’t be afraid to speak and to show yourself. You have a voice and it have to be listened. Don’t let the people bring you down. You don’t have to be good for them, but for you.

Sometimes, and I know this very well, some of these people trying to put you down are just yourself. We know, right? And I have a message for this, sincerely: you have to try stop thinking if people would like something you just made. In some cases, they will enjoy; others, don’t. And that’s fine, for God sake!

You are perfectly capable of doing whatever you want to do. And there is no need to be the best thing in the world, just to be something you are proud of.

So… promise to me that you will try to not listen to bad voices (sometimes present only in your crazy head and not in real people) telling you that you aren’t capable?

And if any judgement arrives, breathe in and breath out. You have to deal with it. Remember that will exist people who are gonna like. If don’t, there’s no problem, you have to try again; try everything.
