Dear Past Self
Stop being so insecure.

Dear past self,
Stop being so insecure. I know that’s harsh but I know you can handle it. You’ve trained your mind to think negatively so when something doesn’t happen, you’re not disappointed. It meant you were protecting yourself. Due to that, you’re now retraining your mind and it’s taking time to relearn.
Stop being insecure about your relationship. You love and adore your boyfriend, more than he probably deserves at times. However, you’re so scared of losing him that you lose yourself in the process. At times, you make decisions based on what the “cool girlfriend” would say or do and regret immediately. You don’t want to express your feelings because you think it would make him not want to be with you, but that is the furthest from the truth. You deserve the best and are worthy, but you don’t see it that way. I am happy to tell you he becomes your husband and is much different than before. He loves you the way you loved him, and you strive to be happy within yourself before trying to make him happy. Your happiness isn’t reliant on him anymore. Your relationship isn’t perfect but your communication and respect for one another are strong. Stop worrying he will break your heart and start living like you are worthy.
Stop being insecure about your career. Although your journey led you to where you are, you’re not where you want to be. You need to believe in yourself. You think you’re not skilled at anything but others find your skills valuable. Currently, you don’t apply for jobs you don’t feel qualified for. But you should understand you might be the perfect fit for a respected position but you’re too intimidated. I truly wish I could tell you that you are at your dream job however, you’re working on ventures you never considered. These ventures encourage you to keep moving forward because whether or not they make you a ton of money, you’re happy with the journey.
Stop being insecure about your body, specifically your weight. For as long as you can remember you’ve worried about the scale. It’s not until you have kids you realize what you had. Feeling good about your body will never change. You strive to do better, but stop putting so much emphasis on it. You end up not enjoying events or doing anything that could potentially show your body. I hope you can acknowledge how beautiful you are and stop comparing yourself to other women.
Most of all stay busy, take time alone, go on spontaneous adventures! Listen to your body. Love your life every single day, even on the hard days. Although the best is yet to come, enjoy all the things you’re doing now. Don’t worry so much about the future. Try different styles, do more walks, runs, and meals by yourself, and do things that make you happy.
Remember to love yourself!
Love,
Kasey
