Love, this is for you.

This could be directed to the mojority of my female friends, but one in particular who needs to hear this. We all have a disfigured vission of what we look like, so far off from the truth that we put ourselves through torture. We risk our health, or happiness, and alienate the ones who love us most. I hope that women in particular will chose to heal their minds, get rid of this venomous thought pattern, and one day see their true beauty.

When you read this I hope I know it is meant for you.

I mean this with all my heart:

Sweetie, you're beautiful. You're amazing. You have always been charming, not just because you're so gorgeous, but in your mind too; the way you care and love people so much once they're in your heart.

I see the way you look at yourself in the mirror. When you walk past, I see the short glance that automatically finds those insecurities only visible to yourself, trust me on that part and ignore those thoughts. You see yourself so much differently than everyone else sees you. I look at you and see the most petite little woman, and yet you can't even listen to someone tell you this without cringing. It makes me feel terrible to think about what you think of yourself. I wish you would believe me, and everyone else out there who truly thinks of you this way. I'm not saying this just because your my friend (which really, you're like my sister), I'm telling you this because its the truth. You should know of all people this.

Believe me when I let you know, I assure you, EVERYTHING there is to love about yourself is genuine when spoken. Your laugh is infectious. When you hug someone, the feeling of sincerity is always there. You always have the right words and advice to comfort me. You have a rockin’ body that a lot girls are jealous of. You're wonderful, love.

So please believe me. I don't think I let you know enough which I regret. Its something I should be reminding you everyday.

When I or anyone isn't there to get you through those rough days, remember this letter.

I love you and miss you entirely,
Missy
