A Lesson

 An important lesson that I've learned over the last four years is that nobody has to love you in order for you to love yourself.

If you can make a discovery about yourself, I applaud you. Cherish that gift of self, enjoy it as you wish because YOU are so wonderfully you. 

I know that this is easier said than done, lovely. I'm a people-pleaser, myself. 

I have faith in you, though. It is not selfish to internally recognize your own worth and beauty. 

It is boastful to tell everyone else about it. 

I am certain you can find something to love about yourself and I further challenge you to find something you dislike about yourself and fix it. 

Find your love.

Right Person, Wrong Time.

 I think that the phrase "right person, wrong time" is bullshit. I wish I could tell my 14-year-old self that it's bullshit. I want her to know why it's bullshit. She wouldn't believe me, though. I wish she knew. The right person comes at the right time in the right way. If they don't come at the right time, it's the wrong person and the wrong time.  The right person will love you deeply, little girl. He won't make you cry. He will not tell you only the things you want to hear. He will be for you because you are, not because of who you could be. He won't leave you alone. He won't disappear without explanation. He'll give you good hugs and real kisses, not just the wish to do such things. He will know you like his own mind. He will be good to you. He will love you in a real and authentic way. You'll know when it's the right person. I promise. If only I could have told her. If only she would have believed it. -Emma Lancaster

Yes, You.

 I'm mad at you. Yes, you. You know who you are. I'm mad because you showed me everything that I could possibly ever want in a man and then you left. You had a good reason for leaving.  I can't deny that. I'm mad, though.  I'm left looking for someone exactly like you. We both know that there isn't anyone quite like you though,  is there? Yes, you. You know who you are. -Emma Lancaster
