A letter to the girl who feels like she is fighting alone

I see you. I know that you are doing your best. I see the world gets you down
sometimes. I know the weight you carry feels heavy. I see that you want to
never give up against the troubles of the world. I see that you struggle
sometimes to keep your chin up. I see that you feel alone in your battle.
You feel like support is little and not often enough.

I want to tell you that I see you and I understand, even if it just a little. That
you are not alone, although it feels lonely sometimes. The universe is filled
with goodness, if only you will look for the little things, the small miracles
that surround you daily. The negative is always there. It will always be there.
This world will never be without it, unless humankind changes. I don’t know if
it is meant to or if that is the purpose of this world. Despite that, there is
beauty and love in the daily. There are people that come into this life to teach
us lessons about how to love deeper.True love means seeing the ugly and
loving it anyways.

The great teachers of the world have always spoken of kindness.
Be kind to yourself.
Spend time being kind to yourself. Cherish yourself.
Give to yourself what you feel has lacked. Love the ugly within yourself.
Accept that we are all ugly and beautiful simultaneously. Saints are rare,
and even then, their absolute virtue can sometimes be questioned.
Remember to be kind to others. We all have a child inside of us.
Stand up for yourself, but not by attacking others,
because then you are the inflictor of wounds.

Most of all, slow down. Breathe. You are here for today.
You don’t need to be perfect.
You really, really, really don’t. You are okay as you are. And so are others.
Peace within allows you to truly move forward
in whatever your decide your life mission is.

Much love <3xo
