A letter to you. And a letter to me.

Become big
Become as big as you need to be
as big as you can
You will never be too big
too much

Light yourself on fire
Don’t worry about the flames
the burning or the ash
Don’t worry about being too hot
or burning out
Ignore the smoke alarms
Ignore the paramedics when they come

Become everything you want to be
even when you have no idea who that is
If you don’t like what someone tells you about yourself
Don’t believe it
If someone tells you that you know what you want
and you don’t think you do
Don’t believe them
And keep trying to figure it out yourself

Don’t be too proud
Don’t forget to be grateful
Don’t forget to appreciate the good ones
Let them inspire you

Don't believe what you've always believed about love

Keep your word
Do as you say
Follow through with your actions
Words are lovely
but you need to show
that you mean what they say

Be unapologetic
I think that is one of my favourite words
Do it unapologetically
Be unapologetically yourself
Own the voice cracks
wear them like scars
you are only breaking open your beauty
They imply openness
courageousness

Don’t be afraid of yourself

Don’t shrink
Don’t stop growing
Not for anyone

At the end of the day
a fear of being too much
is really just a fear of being not enough
A fear of being too much
is just doing every desperate thing you can
in hopes you don’t have to experience
what it would be like to be not enough
See what I mean now
they are the same

This was a letter to you
until I realized it was also a letter to me
We are so different
until we are so similar
