You deserve to be asked to slow dance in the street. You deserve to be a part of your partner's world, not their best kept secret. Let me remind you that you deserve so many things that you have forgotten or think you are not worthy of.
You deserve to be confident. You deserve to walk into a room without feeling anxious.
You deserve to set goals, a big goal, a huge goal. You deserve to believe in yourself and have a sense of hope that you can achieve your dreams.
You deserve friends who build you up, who challenge you, who support you.
You deserve to live without a doubt. You deserve to know that no matter what you do, no matter how many times you have to start over, you have what it takes to adapt and continue on your way.
Above all, you deserve to be happy.
You deserve the joy and magic in life that you once thought was reserved for other people.
You deserve to go to sleep with a smile on your face and wake up with the same smile, knowing that you deserve amazing moments and people. You have to believe it in your heart.
I do not know you. I don't know anything about you. I know nothing about your past. About what you did, what you didn't do, about the good things and the things you did wrong. I don't know if you've ever disappointed yourself or others. I don't know anything. And frankly, I don't care. Because I truly believe that no matter what, you deserve more. You deserve more.
I believe this because there can be a lot of darkness in life. For each of us. Sometimes randomly. Sometimes because of things we did or didn't do. This is life.
I know in my heart and from experience that there is always light after darkness. And I believe there is more light than darkness in life. So much more - trust me.
You are worth more than you think - the light is waiting for you somewhere. Even if it seems dark now, very dark, there is light before you. Firmly believe that it is, that you deserve it.
You deserve to feel love. You deserve to feel confident. You deserve to feel important. You deserve a smile. You deserve to be loved. To live.
You are such a magical mix of light and dark, good and bad, happiness and pain, regret, shame, guilt, happiness and joy.
You deserve all this and more!
