to the girl i was back then, i am sorry i made you feel like you did not matter. that you were not beautiful. that you did not have the ability to chase your dreams. i am sorry i tore you down any chance i could get. i am sorry that you never felt seen. you deserved so much better than me constantly dressing you in insults. i hope you can forgive me now. we have come so far since then. i can not wait for you to see how.
