Dear You

Dear You,

Today, you may have woken up and not wanted to get out of bed.
Someone might have said something hurtful, and just ruined your day.
Maybe you're going through a break up.
Life might really just suck.

But.

I'm here to tell you something.
Something that has taken me my whole life to realize, and I'm still figuring it all out.
So, here is what I am here to tell you.

I love you.
I don't care if it took you a half hour to convince yourself to get out of bed.
I'm so happy that you got out of bed.
Because you're here.
I don't care what you wear, or if your hair is a mess.
I don't care if you wear pajamas to school, or if you didn't do your homework.
It doesn't bother me if we don't have the same beliefs.
If you pray to Buddha or to a God, it doesn't matter.
What matters is that you prayed.
Because that made you happy.
And I don't care about your pajamas or your missed homework.
I don't care what people say about you.
It does not matter to me what lies or rumors I hear.
What I do care about is your happiness.
I don't care who you like, or who you don't like.
I really don't care about the petty worldly things in this life.
What I care about is you.
And if wearing pj's to school is what makes you happy, or praying to whomever you believe in,
then by all means, do it.
Because even if others don't agree with what you do, or think you need to comb your messy hair, I love every part of you.
Those pj's, the missed assignments, the days it's hard to get out of bed.
That is what makes you.. you.
And there is nothing more valuable that you.
I've learned in this life that judgment is cruel.
And I may not know your story, I only know what you show and tell me.
What matters to me, is that you're happy.
And today, it took me three hours to get out of bed.
I wore pj's to school.
And I missed an assignment.
But I'm here to say, I am not ashamed.
Because those pj's made me happy.
My messy hair.. I didn't care.
I'm here to be me.
And that,
is the best thing, I will ever be.

So. To all those out there who had a bad day.
Go to bed knowing that tomorrow is another day.
And that your happiness is what matters.
I love you.
Not for what you are,
But for who you are.
