Letter to inner child/preteen/teenage self
I love you. You are so strong. You survived so much with little guidance to help you through, and often wrong guidance. All because those that should have guided you could barely help themselves. You did not feel safe to speak up. You did not feel safe to shine your light. You did not feel safe in your body or environment. Yet you survived and held on. Your soul, your heart is so beautifully strong. There was never anything “wrong with you”. You were designed with perfection. You are here now safe and loved. You made it through it all. I am so proud of you, and so grateful to you for fighting so hard to stay, to not give up; for keeping hope alive enough to get through another day. Yes you were tired and frightened, but you did it anyway. You are courage, you are strong, you are fierce. I love you.
