An open letter to a friend

(30/06/08)

I was so excited to meet you
You were a gorgeous, fun, breath of fresh air when we met.
We had so much fun & I cherish the time we spent together.
You're so young. And so insecure.
There's no need.
You're beautiful, on the inside & out.
You seek your validation in yourself from others
Most people do.
Please remember - you are unique. Do not compromise who you are to please others.
You'll only hate them for it in the long run.
Find your peace of mind.
Search your soul to find the truths you know to be true.
If other people don't accept you for who you are then fuck them - find people that do. It says more about them than it does about you.
Value those around you. Don't be jealous or competitive with them. That's just your insecurity manifesting itself.
Live each day as if it's your last.
Find peace in yourself and it all becomes so much easier.
