a note to myself

Folder: 
inside

don't say it out loud.

don't say it, you'll regret it.

not everything is about you.

no need to take everything so personally.

don't be mean just to prove a point.

always choose who you confide in carefully.

not everyone cares about you.

don't assume anyone needs you.

never assume he needs you.

don't waste your time on those

who tell you they'd date you, if...

don't waste your time on those

who tell you they aren't looking for anything serious.

don't waste your time on those

who tell you someone better for them is out there.

let them find what they're craving.

you aren't it, but that's okay.

that doesn't mean that you

are any less of a human.

you are worthy of someone's real love.

don't let anyone ever tell you

that you are too much to handle.

feel everything.

let the blueness in, but only ever as a guest.

never stay where you are not needed.

just because one doesn't need you,

doesn't mean you are rotten.

you are good.

you are beautiful.

don't think you ever have to put up with anyone 

who treats you less than you deserve.

know you are worthy of so much in this life.

know that you deserve to be happy.
