I wish I had been kinder to myself even just a little bit. I wish I didn't beat myself up for not shining as bright as others do, because maybe the broken dreams wouldn't have haunted me at 2 AMs. Maybe if I just learned to be softer and let go of the things that couldn't be, my hands won't hurt as much from holding on to the things I know I deserve.
I really wish I knew better. That I just learned to appreciate my rough edges instead of endlessly admiring others' glimmer. I wish I didn't spend my nights begging to the stars, maybe I wouldn't spend a lifetime sitting in the rain, waiting for my little dreams to come true.
I wish I just loved me a little bit more.
