letter to myself about love.

give it a little time.
tell your mom you love her. tell yourself you love yourself. eventually it'll come easier.
don't chase after the boys with pretty eyes and sweet lies and poisonous hands. 
all that will get you is puffy eyes and no offense, but that's not really a look you can rock.
tell your brother you love him and listen to his stories about his games even if you think they're dumb because time is running out and what if this is all there ever is
write more letters.
tell everyone you love them, because everyone needs to hear it more often.
especially tell yourself. i love you. and what's cookin' good lookin'?
go and buy yourself some sushi and share it.
you might not have been in love with the boy 4 houses down in the cul de sac across the street, but your mom puts out a 3 pronged fork on your spot at the table, and when you're sad your dog puts its head on your lap and i think thats all you need to know.
you can forgive them
and yourself.


xoxo, i love you.
