Note To Self
May 11, 2018
One day
Years from now
You will find the missing pieces of yourself
Stuck between the pages of an old diary
And you’ll laugh, and you’ll cry, and you’ll count the years
And everything will come flooding back to you
It will feel like a past life, in a way
Like the old feelings can’t quite touch you anymore
And those pieces will no longer have a place in you
You will have grown.
You will have changed.
You will be different.
And that will be okay.

Even though it's impossible to stay the same exact person forever, my growth can so often feel like a betrayal of my past self. I wrote this to remind myself and other teens who are constantly growing that change is inevitable, necessary, and, most of all, okay.
