Hi love,
I've been having the urge to write to you, to speak to you genuinely. How have you been? I hope you've been good? I know it's been a while, permit me to use school as an excuse.
I have so much on my mind, school is stressing me out, to get a degree isn't as easy and fun as they make it sound you know.. but I have to keep pushing! Life has been good, I'm learning a lot but mostly I'm learning to trust more, trust in God more, trust that my life is turning out perfectly, just how it's meant to be.
But today I want to talk to you, we all need reassurance from time to time and this is me letting you know that you're doing okay, Whatever it is that you may be going through or whatever situation you're in that seems so impossible to get out of isn't the end, you will over come and you will be totally fine. Don't forget to speak positively over your life, no matter what the current situation looks like, I hope you're surrounded by people who love you and people who encourage you to do and to be better, I hope you know that everything that is truly right for you will make you feel at peace, and that little things become big things over time, you just have to give them a chance, I hope you no longer look at yourself with disdain and hatred, that whenever you catch a glimpse of your reflection you smile because you see how beautiful you are both inside and outside, you are a flower that is blossoming beautifully.
I hope that you don't allow the flaws and shortcomings overshadow the perfection and art that you are, because you are beautiful, you are worth it and you are perfectly imperfect! I hope you know that your healed self isn't flawless, you aren't immune to fear, doubt or grief but the difference is that you do not let these emotions control you anymore and I hope you aren't too hard on yourself, personal growth isn't a destination but a journey so take your time, be kind to yourself and give yourself grace on days when you backtrack on your progress.
I hope you love yourself more, that you are your own friend and you take the time to know yourself, your boundaries, weaknesses and strengths, I hope you know that your ambitions are valid and you should pursue them unapologetically because they mean so much to you, I hope that you remember to celebrate your strengths and areas where you have grown and become better, that you don't wait to celebrate only the big wins but also the small ones, that you don't wait for a special occasion to celebrate yourself, you don't wait for a huge sum of money to get something nice for yourself.
I hope you remember that you expect and receive only that which you think you deserve, so don't limit yourself and don't put yourself down and also my love? You are more than enough, you always have been and always will be! It's a privilege to know and love you, never forget that!
With Love
Stephanie 😘
