Dear Brave Girl

Dear Brave Girl, 

Somewhere along the way, you lost your shine. You let the weight of the world hold you down. You forgot who you were and what your purpose on this earth was. You listened to the voices that told you that you weren't good enough, not skinny enough, not brave enough, not worthy enough. You succumbed to the life of settling...a life of ordinary. You stopped believing in yourself. You battled the demons in your head and you let them win. You lost your smile, your passion, your light. You became broken. 

But you're still standing. 

And I am here to remind you of who YOU are. 

You are a warrior. You are a survivor. You have overcome everything that was supposed to break you down because you kept getting back up. You faced it all head on. You are strong. You are brave. You are worthy of so much more than you give yourself credit for. You have power in your story. You never quit. You step up and take on the burdens of others, without hesitation. You keep giving even when others only take. You stand tall through the storms. You keep taking steps forward, no matter how hard the climb. Your heart is pure and real. You don't shy from the truth. You make your presence felt. Your dreams are bigger than the sky and you know what you want. You know what it takes to get there...and nothing will stop you. You love deeply. You are romantic and passionate. You are beautiful inside and out. You are not broken...you are perfectly imperfect just as you are. 

You are simply amazing and I am so grateful to know you. 

Chin up, brave girl, and keep going. YOU've got this! 

xoxo,

T
