Listen carefully kiddo

Kid,

You've got to learn to love yourself, you've got to love yourself. You've got to buy that bunch of flowers you have your eyes own, it's looks better on your window sill than your local florist shop. You've got to come home after a bad day and burn your skin from a shower. You've got to write that letter and read it to him, you're not going to regret it. You've got to know it's ok not to be fine, it's ok not to be alright, life has its own way of working out so cry a little then take that shower that will burn your skin again. You've got to keep your hope strong even if that hope changes direction. You've got to treat yourself, whether it's a day on the couch binge watching The Office series again or purchasing that tub of ice-cream you've been eyeing in the little Tesco store nearby. You've got to tell that guy wearing the exact same trainers as you are that he has great taste in shoes. You've got to leave your phone at home once in awhile and go out to realise how much more you can see when you're not looking down on your phone ever so often. You've got to step on that pile of leaves and kick it around just so you can hear that beautiful crunch. You've got to stop over thinking situations, worrying and getting upset over things that won't matter in a week. You've got to make yourself a hot cup of tea and read by the window as the sky puts on a colourful show just for you. You've got to know you're loved so do yourself a goddamn favour and love yourself.
