What saddens me horribly,
is that we spend too much time tangling ourselves up in our own insecurities. 
Looping it around our throats and strangling our souls. 
Maybe we need to start carrying around a mental knife...
Start cutting ourselves free before it’s too late. 
The slow and painful process of watching a beautiful persons heart deflate from the negative needles that they turn on themselves, is becoming too common and too difficult to see. 
Please, know that you're loved, 
that you're unique, 
that you're beautiful and smart.
Know that you're worthy of kindness. 
Especially from yourself. 

-Sincerely, A Stranger
