A Love Letter To Myself

For the most important person in your life: YOU.

A Love Letter To Myself
Joy Served Warm

Dear Self,

I want to start off by telling you how much I absolutely adore you, because I never say it enough. Sometimes I forget. I forget how important you are, how much you do for me, how much I need you. Sometimes when I look in the mirror, I don't like what I see. Sometimes I cry because I start to pick apart every little piece of you and I just wonder to myself why I got stuck with you. Sometimes all I can see is your flaws. I far too often tear you down instead of building you up. I'm mean to you. I belittle you. And worst of all, I doubt you.

And I'm so sorry for that. I'm sorry that I forget how special you are. I'm sorry I forget to treat you with the love and respect I have for so many other people. No matter what happens, it's always going to be me and you. Together forever. And nothing makes me happier.

Because you are so unique. There is literally nobody else in this whole wide world who will ever be just like you. Your beauty is radiant, inside and out. You have people in your life that love you, and that is never going to change. I hope that when you start feeling down, this little reminder can bring you back up. Always remember, I love you.

XOXO,

Me

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
