Dear Past Self,

I miss you, and I hate you. I hate you because you always think negatively about your family
and friends and what others think of you. Why? You are so young to think that you want to end
your life because of your family situation. You are so insecure about yourself, and you are afraid
to show your mom because of how strict she is. But you know that she did those things because
she loves you, but you hate her because of how she humiliated you before. But I know you love
her so much that you just don't show it to her. I miss the old you, how you loved everything and
were always positive. I love that you were always happy and a joyful person, and you didn't
think about negative things before, like being so naughty and just enjoy life, but you changed
because you realized how hard life is. Thank you because you are so brave and you did not
surrender; just keep fighting. There are a lot of people suffering who want to end their lives, but
they are fighting, so keep fighting. You are not alone, so keep fighting and do the right thing. I
am so sorry because you always feel alone; you let your negativity eat you. I am so sorry, to the
point where you want to end your life. I am so sorry.
I miss the way you give positive vibes to others and to your father. I miss the way you love your
father without overthinking. I love you so much, past self. I hope you will not change. Stay
positive, please, and be thankful for everything. Always think that God is always with you. Forget
the chaotic memories and remember the memorable ones. Just think that every hard time will
be okay. Keep moving and be brave, Jana. Life is hard, but if you keep that up, what will
happen? You know. Just enjoy life and do everything well. Be okay every day. I love you so
much, Jana Mel Escala. I am so proud of you, and you are so brave. Thank you for everything.
