tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies...

i was asked today what i would say to my 8th grade self...

• you are beautiful
• you are worthy
• you are loved
• someone will come and save you, and his name will be Brian.
• you will survive this
• you are perfect JUST the way you are
• you were NOT a mistake
• i'm sorry you live with a monster
• this world has good things in store for you
• an angel will be given to you, and you will name him Carson.

i have a long journey ahead of me. i need to heal, and the first step is going back....it is hard to go back sometimes.
