A letter to my younger self💌

My dear, sweet, innocent Teresse,

You are not defined by societies perceptions of ‘flaws’. You should focus on being a kid, instead of wearing clothes that hid your body and your body hair and suffering in the heat of recess time under a tree.

When you see those little bumps on your face, you will be teased, but it is a sign of your body telling you to get ready, you are beautiful now, but you will be exquisite later. Because you will love every step of the way and become stronger for it.

and in high school when you paint your face in makeup every morning to hide how worse it has gotten, you will come to realize that when you got on accutane, no one ever saw. The acne and barely noticed when it started to go away. Because you are NOT defined by your looks. It’s your soul that really matters.

You are beautiful.

You are loved.

You are cherished.

A letter to my younger self 🤍
