My dear Emily, you came home from school looking so sad once again. Children can be incredibly unkind, often without realizing the impact of their words. You’ve felt excluded, ridiculed, and alone. I know you’ve shed tears in that dim bathroom stall, and it breaks my heart.
While I can’t erase your pain, I can be here for you to lean on. Share your worries with me. Let your emotions flow on my shoulder instead of the unforgiving floor of the restroom. I’ll be your safe space for as long as you need. And when you’re ready, I want to share some important truths with you:
- Crying Is Completely Natural. Letting your emotions out through tears can be a powerful release, helping you heal and cleanse your spirit. Embrace your feelings, acknowledge the hurt, and then allow yourself to move forward. Remember, the quicker you release those tears, the sooner you can return to joy.
- Your Happiness Is Yours Alone. The secret to your happiness lies within you. It’s not something I can give, nor can it be purchased. No one can take it away from you — it’s abundant and everlasting. You have the power to choose happiness every single day, in every situation. Embrace that strength.
- You Are Capable of Amazing Things. Dream big, my sweet girl. Then take the necessary steps to achieve those dreams. There’s no limit to what you can accomplish! You possess a unique set of skills and talents. Nurture them, expand them, and cherish them. Follow your own path and make it beautiful.
- You Are Inherently Beautiful. There are no conditions or exceptions to this truth. You are beautiful every single day. Whether you wake up with messy hair or your eyes are red from crying, your beauty shines through. You are stunning after an adventurous day in the mud or while feeling unwell. Your smile lights up the world, and you are beautiful always.
- You Are Important. You have always been significant. You matter to your family who loves you through thick and thin, to your teachers who strive to help you learn, and to the boy you once rescued from a tree. You may not realize it, but you make a difference in the lives of those around you, even in ways you haven’t seen yet. You’ve always mattered, and you always will.
- My Love for You Is Unconditional. I loved you before you even arrived in this world. I cherished you from the moment I heard your first cry, as well as every moment since. I love you during your happiest days and the times when you struggle with self-acceptance. My love is your superpower, a constant presence that will never waver, no matter what.
The kids who tease you don’t know the real you. They see just a tiny glimpse of your life and don’t understand your worth. Remember to trust my love and beliefs about you over their hurtful words. I see your potential and believe in you. They can only hold you back if you allow them to.
