For Taylor - Mixtape #9: Healing from a Broken Heart

First love often ends with your first heartbreak. It’s okay to cry or be angry or even wish you could have that love back. Let it out, but always remember the sun does come out eventually, and life will go on. Try to see the things you are grateful for and know that you are worthy of being loved… and never give up hope that there is someone out there who is worthy of your love when you are ready.

Love, Mom
