dear younger me

Lei


Notice of absence from Lei
If I don't answer I'm most likely at school,with family or having a breakdown or something stupid as heck

When I was younger 

I used to wonder

what would happen when I grew older

would I be happier? 

would I be smarter ?

even though I seem more mature 

does not mean My life is better

through all those straight A's 

and high grades 

I struggle to accept myself

with suicide on the mind

will I ever find a way to survive?

    Short answer to last lines - yes.
    You won't surely throw away your young life, and intelligent too?

    • Lei

      thank you, I have been struggling with that kinda stuff since I was eight, so the fact that I've made it this long is a miracle, and once again thank you for your kind words

        Oohh, you'll make it longer, I'm sure! heehee.
        But seriously, it can be teenage 'patches' that people go through.

        That’s the worst part of it, isn’t it? The perfect grades that make us look perfect, when we’re anything but that. Struggling to accept yourself... everytime someone praises you, you wouldn’t know how to answer😂 It’s so not funny that it kinda becomes funny. So I laugh. Better than crying about it I guess. Anyways, I understand. Beautiful words💕

          thank you, I'm glad you could relate, but at the same time I'm also sorry that you relate, I don't really know how to explain it

          • Your_dreams

            I get it😭

          • Accidental Poet

            Suicide should never be an option. Smile and light up the world. 😉👍

            • Lei

              thank you for the encouragement
