You continue to grow and strive for greatness. It is so inspiring the things you have accomplished.

2021-09-22 17:15:18 UTC

It’s not your responsibility to please other people.

You are more than enough!

2021-09-22 17:15:19 UTC

You are enough. Resilience is in your bones. Whoever or whatever puts a wall in your way is not worthy of your greatness.

2021-09-22 17:15:20 UTC

Thank you for carrying me through my journey and thank you for the bravery you endured to get me to where I am today.

2021-09-22 17:15:31 UTC

It’s unfortunate that your environment forces you to be so protective of yourself from harm before you’re even able to see joy and love in the world. Keep protecting yourself, but stay vulnerable to the people that radiate goodness and love. There’s good people that will show you home, family, and love.

2021-09-22 17:15:32 UTC

don't be scared to make your parents mistakes. you don't. live.

2021-09-22 17:15:32 UTC

It’s okay to fail. Remember your failure and strive to improve

2021-09-22 17:15:47 UTC

Remember that these are your dreams. Follow your heart and don't allow for people to disrupt your path.

2021-09-22 17:15:47 UTC

2021-09-22 17:15:49 UTC

You are smart and you belong. Home is where you are and you are safe.

One day you will get to a place where you are no longer afraid

beverlyomoregie — 2021-09-22 17:16:07 UTC

To younger self

2021-09-22 17:16:09 UTC

You are special and will be okay.
This moment does not define you.
Be yourself.
It's okay to open up to others.
Thank you for doing your best.

In spite of all the insecurities and or doubts you have, you will persist. While that isn't visible at the moment, you are expanding and liberating.

2021-09-22 17:16:11 UTC

Fear not, for He is with you.

2021-09-22 17:16:14 UTC

You deserve to be here.

2021-09-22 17:16:18 UTC

You are so incredibly smart and talented, but you choose to look at yourself through the eyes of people who don't have your best interest at heart. You can accomplish all your dreams and desires if you read, work hard, and love others as much - if not more - than yourself. Your worth and potential is not determined by the decisions you have made up to this point, but it is made from what you choose to do from this point on. So go, and do great things.

2021-09-22 17:16:19 UTC

Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Mistakes help us grow.

From younger self:

andreasoria55 — 2021-09-22 17:16:20 UTC

You are an inspiration, Grandparents would be so proud to see where you are in this moment.

You are at the right place at the right time, everything happens for a reason.

2021-09-22 17:16:21 UTC

Focus on yourself, you already have everything you need within yourself

You don't need everyone to see and hear you. You are seen and heard by those who value YOU, and those are who are most important

2021-09-22 17:16:25 UTC

2021-09-22 17:16:29 UTC

It’s okay to say no. Find worth in yourself, not in the approval of others.

2021-09-22 17:16:39 UTC

You are never too much for this world. You do not ever have to silence your voice.

You inherited the physical body you are in. The color of your skin is beautiful. Your culture is so beautiful. It'll take you a few years to realize this, and when you do, you'll finally love yourself for who you are and who you were meant to be in this world.

2021-09-22 17:16:39 UTC

Your voice was/is meant to be heard. What you had to say was worthy and valuable.

2021-09-22 17:16:43 UTC

2021-09-22 17:16:47 UTC

You don't need to be anyone else. You are worthy, valued, and perfect just the way you are.

Your voice matters! What you say, matters.

2021-09-22 17:16:50 UTC

Younger self to current me:
I thought we agreed you would never become a teacher, but I'm guessing things changed lol

2021-09-22 17:16:52 UTC

you are an amazing and kind person

you will get through it, through the sadness, anger, resentment. you will fight to move forward and go to places you only ever fantasized about, places you thought you weren't welcome. you are more than enough.

2021-09-22 17:16:53 UTC

there is no such as thing as "growing up" or "being an adult" -- take as much as time as you need to figure yourself out ~

2021-09-22 17:17:05 UTC

2021-09-22 17:17:07 UTC

You are doing everything you have hoped , dreamt, and prayed about .

2021-09-22 17:17:07 UTC

You are an inspiration to your family. You deserve all that you have worked for and continue to work for.

I am proud of the person we have become and are continuing to grow into.

2021-09-22 17:17:11 UTC

2021-09-22 17:17:17 UTC

It’s crazy how amazing you can be

2021-09-22 17:17:17 UTC

that didn't make you mature. it was traumatic and we heal eventually.

2021-09-22 17:17:18 UTC

To younger self: I'm so proud of everything you have accomplished so far. I'm glad you're still here

don't be afraid of making mistakes!

2021-09-22 17:17:21 UTC

2021-09-22 17:17:26 UTC

These brick walls and screaming teachers may hurt you now but will not break you down. You are stronger than you think you are and worthy of love, patience and understanding. The five minutes that first grade you will spend walking to the principals office, crying, for making a comment about a Dr. Seuss movie that the teacher disagreed with may hurt you now but will not break you down. These white teachers who make you feel like an untamed beast may hurt you now but will not break you down. Life may hurt you but will not break you down because one day you will heal and attend the nation's #1 public university and begin your journey of loving yourself and breaking harmful cycles. I love you!

2021-09-22 17:17:29 UTC

It's okay to have big feelings. It's okay to feel pain and hurt and cry. It's okay that you don't feel loved sometimes because I will love you no matter what.

2021-09-22 17:17:31 UTC

You deserve to be who you are.

Speak for yourself and those you love

2021-09-22 17:17:32 UTC

2021-09-22 17:17:36 UTC

It’s okay that you don’t know how to open up right now even thought you want to. You didn’t feel safe to be vulnerable growing up which made it difficult to grow and make mistakes. One day you’ll meet people who won’t make you feel guilty for feeling scared and will make you feel safe

Your survival is resistance. Your success is resilience. We are proud of each other

2021-09-22 17:17:39 UTC

Your persistence and strength amaze me to this day.

2021-09-22 17:17:40 UTC

2021-09-22 17:17:44 UTC

The scars you carry show your strength and resilience.

2021-09-22 17:17:45 UTC

you are beautiful. your differences are what make you, YOU. you will become the person you needed.

2021-09-22 17:18:02 UTC

Reconcilation flows everywhere and is everything. Everything is love.

2021-09-22 17:18:07 UTC

always remember to take care of yourself because you matter so much

2021-09-22 17:18:11 UTC

Have courage! Go for it!

2021-09-22 17:19:46 UTC

You will go through so much and you will think you are alone in this world and no one cares about you but in the future. Years later you will be in your dream school, happy, and in peace. <3
