A Heartfelt Apology to Myself: Healing Through Self-Love

Dear Self,

"I'm sorry that you tried so hard to fix others when your own hands were shaking.
I'm sorry for not giving you the time you needed to heal and instead forcing you to seal the wounds of everyone else while your own were still bleeding.

I'm sorry for the days when smiling felt like the hardest thing, but you did it anyway to keep others from worrying about you.
I'm sorry for pouring all your time and energy into people who couldn’t offer the same in return.

Most of all, I’m sorry for not loving you the way you deserved to be loved. You deserved care, patience, and understanding.

From now on, I promise to treat you with the kindness and compassion you’ve always shown others. You are worthy of the love you give so freely.
