Looking back at 2016 me

2016 me probably deserved so much more love 

Love that could encompass her, hold her tightly and heal all those jagged corners sticking out in sharp edges as defensive barbs

She was self conscious and so ruthlessly bothered about her appearance

She disliked her body, her skin, her hair, her complexion

She envied others for those same things that she covetted

She hated how she looked

Craved affection and attention from all the wrong kinds of people

Was jealous of the people she probably should have befriended and taken inspiration from

She was so unhappy about herself that envy became second nature to her

She was unknowingly unkind and mean and such a big pick-me

However, she was so energetic

She loved poetry and art and photography

She tried so hard at everything

And felt so much

She was soon going to be loved and understood and cared for despite everything, inspite of it all, and all that love would be overlooked by her

But she will grow

And she will put up a fight 'cause she had so much fight in her
