Dear You
Dear
You,
This is it - you've made it.
This is your birthday, the day you have waited for 365 days - well not
exactly.
You've waited for the magic-day when everything would change,
when everything would feel right and you'd be ready.
This day didn't really happen.
You always hoped this year would be different.
You always believed the next year would be better,
you would wake up and realize what you wanted from life
and everything would happen the way you dreamed it.
You hoped you would finally be good enough for everyone else,
most importantly for yourself.
Dear you,
You did great.
You’re one year older,
you made it through another year
and look how much (you) changed.
There may be no prince or princess charming,
but who cares,
you got an army of knights in shining armour,
great people in your life, that try to do anything for you to make you
happy.
And you are a queen,
you don't need another person by your side to rule over your kingdom.
Dear You,
You are still young and figuring stuff out,
you’re confused and scared and angry
and this is exactly what you are supposed to be.
No one is born perfect or becomes a perfect human being in the first 18
years.
Some people never really figure it out, but that’s okay.
It’s fine.
You’ll be fine.
Give yourself time.
I’m glad you made it to this point in your life.
And you will make it so much further.
Dear You,
Please read this and know that I like you very much,
not in any weird or sexual way,
in a i-want-you-to-be-happy-and-warm-and-safe-kinda-way
and I did this
- not to copy your work or because I’m too lazy to think of new
blog posts -
but because growing up is scary
and I don’t know how you are or how your life has been,
but I know that it’s all just too much sometimes and overwhelming
and this is your reminder that it will be okay anyway.
Dear everyone out there,
I (re)wrote this for someone special
and hopfully without getting trouble with copyright issues,
i want to use her words right now:
“No matter what happens.
You are extraordinary and no one has the right to bring you down.”
Sincerely,
Me
