Dear Kathryn P2

A Story by Kathryn Smith

If it's hurting right now


If it's burning right now


It makes us who we are


It's written in the S c a r s



I don't remember going to hell and back but I know:

I was out of control




Let it rain

Let it pour

Let the tears come down like a waterfall


I'd rather live with the pain


Than die feeling nothing at all














Dear Kathryn,




The last time you wrote a letter to yourself you were 22 years old!


A Babbbyyy!


Your heart was set on Killarney and on someone who would eventually absolutely break and kill you.



3 years later and where are you?


You're 25.


Resurrected.


You are smarter.


You are definitely stronger.


More confident.


And a lot more gorgeous.


(If you disagree; fight me! I'll win! And you know it!)


You know you make heads turn!  




But giiirrrrrl!


Listen up.


Your inner voice needs some work.


You need to be kinder to yourself.


I know watching all your peers get married is hard.


And I know you're ready to settle down.


All you've ever wanted is to be loved.


I know you feel like you're stuck..


You feel like a loser for being the age you are

and living with your parents.


I get it..




But really, Kathryn.


L i s t e n.  



You're loved.  


And you're clearly on a different path.


If you were like all your other peers life would be a bit boring wouldn't it?


You should know by now that you aren't just an ordinary girl.


Even the way you came into this world was extraordinary.  


You're a fighter.


A Queen.


What's ahead is going to blow your little mind.



I'm proud of what you've gone through.


And you've gone through a lot.  


You aren't a survivor.


You're a damn warrior.


You're a Goddess.


And you'd better not forget it.


So embrace everything you're feeling right now.



Why?


Because it's better to feel than be numb.


Keep muddling through life GF.


I'm cheering for you!




See you at 28!


Can't wait!!

The emotion, the hurt, the strength and the defiance simply saturate the vellum of these creatively open and honest pieces.
