Dear Me, It's You, is a collection of letters written from Cassandra Martin to herself in her early twenties: a period of time where she struggled to navigate mental health, divorce, and starting over on her own. In this series, Cassandra speaks back in time to herself, sharing wisdom that can only be gained from lived experience. She addresses themes of self care, mental health awareness, and authenticity with compassionate understanding.

Kind
I know this one’s gonna be a little bit of a thing, but be as kind to yourself as you are willing to be to literally everyone else on the entire planet. Extend your kindness and care to yourself - you are the most worthy recipient of your love and care.
-
Be
I know there have been several groups of people who have discouraged and punished you in some form for being yourself, but I have to break a truth to you: you are yourself.
-
Heal
You do not have to live in a world where your health needs are not being consistently met. You are an adult - pick up the phone and call the doctor, even though you’re sure you’ll cry the whole time.
-
Survive
I have seen you accomplish so much more than you are dreaming about right now, and you will eventually be kind of glad that you didn’t actually die when you thought you wanted to. You’re still going to want to die sometimes, though.

Release
If they stopped talking to you after you finished school / left the job / got divorced, that’s ok. Let them go. You don’t need them where we’re headed.
