The Elpis Letters #5 | 16 by Writing to Breathe

16

16 year old me.

Please.

Know your worth.

Trust your instincts.

Hug your parents. Tight.

Apologise quickly.

Stand strong in your beliefs.

Appreciate true friendship.

Find the good in others.

Defend that girl.

That boy isn’t forever.

The pain is temporary.

The hurt will heal.

Find your passion.

Savour the good times.

Laugh immensely.

You will learn as you grow.

You will grow as you learn.

You will look back some day.

Your why’s will be answered.

In the meantime.

Please.

Love yourself.

Trust the journey.

~ Writing Breathe, B.P
