better in memory

Dear younger self, You are beautiful, your skin was never “to” dark It is just fine, infact it’s perfect. Don’t base your skin color on your worth.You are enough. Live in the moment, don’t spend your childhood years trying to grow up. You’ll look back wishing mom sent you into your room for a nap as a punishment. As weird as it may sound you’re going to miss being able to take a nap without having any repercussions. Also enjoy the time you have with the family, Because before you know it you’ll be a senior ready to graduate and move states as soon as you get that diploma and you’ll go from being able to walk down the hall to your siblings room to tell them your day. To having to call them on facetime and only seeing them on holidays. Cherish the time you have with grandma more because before you know it youll go from being able to call her everyday to speaking to a stone wishing it could talk back to you. Lastly just live in the moment don’t rush things.
