A Letter To My Younger Self
A poem prompt I found on Instagram
To my past self, I would like to tell you everything is great
Some things get better, but some things are not so great.
Not everyone who smiles has your best interests at heart.
Many will gaslight and spit you out when the benefits are gone.
Many will be there to celebrate your successes, but only
A handful of people will support you through your failures.
Don't give up the things you love. It will be worth it in the end.
Don't sell your soul to snakes, they will spit you out.
Don't worry about those who choose to ghost you.
And there's some people who just can't be helped.
In a few years time, I will write to you again.
My present self will be my past self.
See you soon!

I love how you loving give younger self great advice. I hope your younger self understand what a snake person might be because snake people can easily fool some people.
Excellent Chloe. I could feel the passion that you put into this. There are so many truths in the lines that you wrote here.
