A letter from Aug 04, 2023

Dear FutureMe, this is your 17 year old self. Hoping that you’ve learned to not let people run over you and control you. I hope you’re not so available to the people who are too “busy” to acknowledge you. Right now i’m at the point where I don't want to prioritize others who don’t reciprocate the same energy in return. I want you to be so hard to reach people won’t even know how to contact you. I hope that you realize you’re not a stepping stool. You should be treated with respect and to be shown your feelings are valid just as much as the next person feelings. When I read this letter three years from now I want to be able to say that I did it. I made this promise to myself and i’ve been committed to it. I want to be able to reflect and say that I’d never let anyone make me feel this way again. I just want to be able to love myself the right way.
