"Forgive yourself for all the times you didn't appreciate who you are, for all the times that when trying to please others, you displeased yourself.
Forgive yourself for all the times when you prioritized someone's happiness more than yours because you believed that they would do the same for you.
Forgive yourself for dwindling to fit in the world of someone who has never worked hard for you to stay.
Forgive yourself for all the times that you have allowed the opinion of others to determine your value.
Forgive yourself for all the times you have felt weak and powerless because someone has diminished you, disrespected you and you accepted.
Forgive yourself!
Find the strength to overcome and leave all the bad times behind, you owe it to yourself.
Take pride in your intensity, your kindness, and your willingness to see others happy.
Be proud of your courage, be proud of your history, be proud of who you are in the ups and downs of life. Take pride in not wishing harm to anyone, not even those who have already made you suffer.
Take pride in that unpretentious way of loving genuinely, honestly, and deeply that you have! Never apologize for being exactly who you are. Be kind to yourself, forgive yourself, and be proud of everything you've achieved so far."
