Real beauty is knowing that nobody's eyes shine exactly like yours. You taught me that. Now you need to learn it.

Right now I can’t even begin to explain how disappointed in how little love people have for themselves. I’m just going to say it right now, plain as day. Adri, you are beautiful.

You need to stop comparing yourself to others and just take in your own beauty.

God, I could write a million songs and it still wouldn’t even begin to explain your beauty. Adri you are one of my best friends and I love you so much. I would do anything in the world to let you know how much you mean to me. You’re smart even though you think you’re just a dumb blonde, but I know better. I’ve seen you write perfect English essays. So maybe you don’t get numbers. But not everyone is meant to. I know you have something within you to help you survive. You have a fire. Adri I know you think that there is no one in the world that wants you, but that’s just because you don’t look back and see the guys that are lining up for you. You have no idea how many guys are completely in love with you. Watch out for your best friends, I think they are the ones most in love with you ;) Adri. Love. Darling.

Please just know that even if you think nobody is there for you and nobody cares, I am here for you and I care. I always will be here for you.

I know Orem is far away, but I’m just a phone call away. Maybe even less. I’ll do anything for you. Because that’s what best friends do. Who cares what your “best friend” is saying about you. If people believe that then they aren’t worth it. I love you Adri. With all my heart. I know I give you shit, but just know that it’s because I love you so much. I wish that the world never would have torn you down or done anything to make you stop smiling. Because that isn’t the Adri I remember.

I remember an Adri that always smiled and didn’t are what people said as long as she was happy.

I don’t know where she went. But I want that Adri back. Because I know that was the Adri that loved herself the most and was the happiest. And that is all I want. Don’t listen to the world. Because the world is dumb in most perspectives. The world will take a beautiful girl and still tell her that she is ugly just because. Just for no reason. The world says that as thin as you are, it still isn’t thin enough. Or your teeth aren’t white enough or straight enough. Or your hair should be curly, no it should be straight, no wavy, no, it should definitely be messy.

The world will constantly tell you what you should be, but you are already what you NEED to be.

You are thin enough, beautiful enough, your hair looks amazing no matter what. But you know something else, none of it should even matter. The people that don’t care how you look are the most important. Screw the rest. Do things for yourself and only for yourself, not for the world. It doesn’t matter to me how you look, and I hope that it can stop mattering so much to you too. Let your hair be a little funny one day. Go outside without makeup on. Just

let the need to be perfect go

because no matter how hard you try, you’ll never make it there. So it’s time to embrace the fact that you have faults because guess what… Faults are amazing. How many times have you seen a crooked heart that I’ve drawn and smiled? Don’t you always love freckles across noses? Tan lines? Things that make people different and unlike others? I know you do.

Start embracing your faults instead of dwelling on them so much.

Your life will change in such a positive way.

LOVE YOURSELF
