a love letter to myself
i love you.
i love everything about you, every little thing you have ever felt ashamed of.
i love the way your smile can just brighten up my whole world. i worship your laugh that fixes all of my problems.
i can't help but smile when you do, and when you are sick, i feel bad too.
nothing can ever come close to how i feel about you.
i adore the tiny monobrow that you sometimes try to hide.
i apreciate how much work you put into everything, into school, into friendships, into life.
above all, i respect you. you are the most courageous person i have ever known.
i worry that you don't take care of yourself. i fear that you spend all of your energy on everyone else and forget yourself. but i also trust that you know your limit.
i admire how you take a moment every day to appreciate something, whether it be yourself, life, or another person.
i live for your baking skills, and how you don't need a recipe once you know the ingredients.
i find peace in the delight of witnessing you have fun.
i love all your little quirks that sometimes go unoticed.
i love that you wear your watch on your right wrist.
i love that you brush your teeth with your left hand.
and i really love that you still have all of your stuffed animals.
i love when you make really bad puns and still find them funny an hour later.
i love that you try your best for the planet.
i love that you consider pluto to be a planet and will fight anyone who says otherwise.
i love that you try to learn new things in your free time. i
love how you marvel at the night sky.
i love your friendship bracelets.
i love that you are a paper bending master.
but most importantly, i love you. i would go great lengths to make you okay. because i am you, and you deserve all the love in the universe.
