Dearest Me,

“I am sorry for the losses you had to bear, I am sorry for all the mistakes and for the prices you had paid, I am sorry for not taking care of you, for not giving my enough time to you. I am sorry for not understanding you. I am sorry for not respecting you, I am sorry for underestimating you, I am sorry for not being gentle to you. I am sorry for not valuing your worth. I am sorry for pressuring you to change yourself according to them. I am sorry for lowering your courage and confidence down by comparing yourself to others. I am sorry for not listening to your silent screams. I am sorry for criticizing you all the time and for calling you a mistake. I am sorry for not accepting you the way you are.

Lastly, I am sorry for asking you to be positive, hopeful, and good all the time, even in the times when you were going through something unexplainable” I am extremely sorry, dear me.

Sincerely, Areeba
