I wrote this poem for closure for myself because I hated myself for so many years due to my negative childhood. This is my letter to myself apologizing for all the pain I put my soul and body through.

It's my birthday, and I write a letter to myself.

Read an open letter to myself on my birthday. Take a journey with me through the feelings a birthday brings as you age. I open up about deep rooted feelings and body image struggles. Let’s work on changing our perspectives and thank God together for letting us live another year!

Get your students to write a letter to themselves at the start of the new school year. This is a really easy way to share some powerful messages with them, and it's a great way to boost their confidence and motivation for the rest of their year.

Sometimes learning to accept who you are and love yourself is difficult. Read my heartwarming open letter to see how I encouraged myself the past year and showed love to myself.

Sometimes, you just hit that breaking point where you think, “Enough is enough, I’ll handle it myself!”
