To my past self,

Don’t worry about the future.

Don’t worry about what you will and won’t do.

Don’t worry about whether or not your dreams will come true.

Don’t worry about whether the girl you love will stay.

Don’t worry about if someone would pick you over everyone else.

Don’t worry about if you’re enough.

You are enough.

I’d pick you over everyone else.

Only the best girl will stay.

I’m working hard now to make your dreams come true.

You will do great things.

The future is in my hands.

Give me all your worries.

Give me all your burdens.

Give me all your pain.

To my future self,

Don’t regret the past.

Don’t regret what you did and didn’t do.

Don’t regret that your dreams did or didn’t come true.

Don’t regret what happened or didn’t happen with those girls you loved.

Don’t regret what happened with those that didn’t pick you over everyone else.

Don’t regret being you.

You are enough.

I picked you over everyone else.

Only the best girl stayed.

I’m working hard now to make your dreams unregrettable.

You’ve done great things.

The past is in my hands.

Give me all your regrets.

Give me all your burdens.

Give me all your pain.

To my present self,

Throw away all your worries.

Throw away all your regrets.

Throw away all your burdens.

Throw away all your pain.

You are enough.

I pick you over everyone else.

You are doing great things.

The present is in my hands.
