# notes for chocolates

love the woman you are. all of her, genuinely. don't be afraid of yourself. 
don't be afraid to seek help. don't be afraid to share yourself with others

how happy you are to be surrounded by people who understand you. who support you. 
who love seeing you at your best

you are getting better. the best part is you can tell you are getting better. 
keep working hard. this story has a happy ending. i promise

embrace the part of you that is quite simply a goofball. you don't have to do it just
to fit in any more. you can be silly because quite simply you are sometimes, and
that's a lovely thing about you

you've been taking care of yourself and you are noticing. how pretty did you think you looked in the mirror with those lashes? the answer is very. with time all the work you are putting into yourself will show. you're doing a good job, keep it up

when depression tried to isolate you even further, you stood up for yourself. you took action. you made friends at one of your loneliest points. how brave you are to take that risk. how happy you are to know friendship again

there's a song i want you to listen to. you haven't listened to it in a long time. i want you to remember the times you used to dream of dancing and twirling in your apartment with the stereo on. the only two important things in that moment was the music and what you felt in your heart

when you're ready, you'll know love again. true love this time. what you are working on now is true love of yourself. romance can wait for you this time
