Hey there,

First of all, look at you. You have so much to offer this beautiful Earth. I wish you could see yourself through my eyes. I see so much in you, you have so much more depth than you give yourself credit for. I see intelligence, both in regards to hitting the books and in regards to social intelligence and the ability to care about people unconditionally. I see a sense of humor and I hear a contagious laugh. I see motivation and the pride you take in always giving 110%, even if sometimes people are only giving you 80% back. I see your serious side, whether it is your competitive nature or your desire to be the most professional person in the room. I see your organization and your need to do everything you can to make life easier for others.

I see your exhausted eyes after a long day of feeling like you have to please everyone... these days I just can't help but to remind you that it is okay to make things about you sometimes. I see you admire art and all things around you while pretending as if you don't see me admiring you. I see all of these attributes, some days more than others... but every day I see beautiful hair that falls perfectly as soon as you take it out of the hair elastic that has kept it in a ponytail all day. I see glistening eyes when you turn to smile at me as if you already knew I was appreciating just how beautiful you are. On these days I also see a different side of your beauty, I see the stress in the furrow of your eyebrows that tells me you want to get everything right. I want you to stop for a second and realize that you, you my dear, are getting everything right. For that, I applaud you.

Your ability to read people blows me away and you want to be the best version of yourself is inspiring. You are so special. I have met many people in my life and nobody has brought out the best in me like you have. I always want to be so good for you, you have that effect on people. You don't give up on people who take you for granted and you never forget to patch up any holes in a friendship. You amaze me and you stop me in my tracks, always.

I want to tell you to never give up on yourself, and I want to tell you that you really are a person to be proud of. You are going to go so far in life but you will go even further if you recognize your worth and exactly how spectacular you sincerely are. Never settle. Never settle for anything less than the absolute best, keep that motivation high and keep pushing for the most life has to offer. Keep going, never stop being you because the you I know is unbelievable, breathtaking and unstoppable.

Best Regards and with the sincerest of hope that you read this and know that I'm talking to you,

xoxo
