“They say that changes are always for the better, but what they don’t tell you is that their impact depends a lot on oneself to be positive or negative.

I have thought a lot about my past versions and the impact of all the changes in my life.

In my past versions, I see a frightened girl who shrinks because she is herself, one who constantly stumbles over obstacles in the path and falls deeply into her fears.

As it happened with you.

I lived in constant chaos.

I made many wrong decisions and invited people who hurt me, with tormenting intentions.
They only brought me more chaos and destroyed me a little more.

Despite everything, I always got up, even if I was knocked out. I was always standing, not letting them defeat me.

It took me time to accept and forgive those past versions of myself. I know nothing was a mistake; everything was part of the path to return to myself, to my essence.

I firmly believe that each person who crosses our life is there to learn.
Some people sink you, some make you see your worth, and others teach you what love and pain are.

With you, I experienced genuine love.

To my past versions, thank you.
Thank you because, despite the battles, I never stopped smiling, even in chaos.

To all the people I encountered.
Thank you because even in pain, laughter, and fleeting happiness, I discovered true happiness in myself.

And thanks to you, I stopped looking for solutions in others.
Everything was always within me.”
