Surving Absence
But here's the truth: their absence doesn't define your worth. You're loved and you're enough"
Dear Younger Self,
You're going to be okay. Your parents being away doesn't define your worth. You're loved, even when it feels like you're not. You're strong, and you're doing the best you can, and that's enough.
You might feel scared, lonely, or like you're not good enough. That's okay. Those feelings are valid. But know that better days are coming. You'll find people who care about you, who'll show you love and support.
Keep holding on to hope. Keep being brave. You're not alone, even when it feels like you are.
You're going to grow into an amazing person, and it's okay to stumble along the way.
Sending you love and patience,
Me...
