The First

May 7, 2010

Dear Me,

Its been a long road so far.  Sometimes you have goofed up, made mistakes, and fallen down.  Amazingly enough, you get back up.  You keep jumping in with your arms flailing wildly, boldly laughing, all the while screaming.  Does the screaming really help?  Somewhere in this process you need to learn to love yourself.  You are worth it.  You also need to have more faith in yourself.  We all make mistakes, so stop being so rough on yourself - realize your worth and move forward knowing that somewhere down the road you'll look back and say - wow, look how far I've made it!  Actually - look back now - look how far you have made it!  Stop being afraid, life is about the journey so even if you don't reach every goal, you'll reach more by trying than by hiding from you really want.  Plus, think of all you will learn, experience, and enjoy from attempting different feats.  Furthermore, imagine the stories!
I apologize for mistreating you.  I apologize for not believing in you.  I apologize for letting others walk over you, for not understanding your beauty earlier in life - I apologize, plain and simple.  Please forgive me.
Remember  - mind your manners, always be gracious, and try to keep smiling.  Somehow - you'll figure this thing called life out.  In the meantime have fun and laugh!

With all my heart,

Mel P
