Dear Beautiful Girl,

Wow, if you could see yourself through my eyes you would never doubt or question yourself again. You would see how sad my life would be if you had never walked into it, and you would recognize how much I, and so many others, need you. You would love you as much as I LOVE YOU. You would see how worthy you are of love, appreciation, respect and everything that this world has to offer you. You would see how absolutely and truly amazing you are. You would recognize how much better of a place you make this world, how you truly light up every room that you walk into, and how much people genuinely love you. You would see how many lives you impact, how many people look up to and admire you, and how many people are motivated, encouraged and inspired by you. You would recognize how many people are drawn to you for all of the kindness that radiates from you.

You would never settle again, because you would recognize how worthy you are and how much more that you deserve than what you have been accepting. You would never spend another minute worrying about not finding “the one,” you would quit entertaining your ex or the boy who refuses to commit to you, because you would realize that the man you are supposed to be with will recognize and know how amazing the girl is that he has in front of him. You would stop doubting that you will never find him, because you would see that you are the girl that real men ask God to send them, and you would see that God is saving a super special man just for you.

You would never pass up that second slice of pizza or skip dessert again, because you would realize that your heart will always be the biggest thing about you. You would recognize that no matter what the scale says that it does not represent your inner beauty nor does it take away from your outer beauty. You wouldn’t be so hard on yourself anymore. You would start recognizing your own outer beauty like you recognize the outer beauty of others. You would quit comparing yourself to those around you that you think are prettier, skinnier, smarter, nicer, or have their life more together than you do. You would see that there is no one prettier, smarter, or kinder than you. That eventually you will get your life together and that one day everything will be as perfect as you wish it was right now. You would recognize how many people around you wish that they were you or that they attained the characteristics that you do. You would see how special you are and how much you truly bring to the table.

You would quit feeling defeated by that exam, that midterm and that research paper, because you would realize that the grade you make on any of those isn’t what defines you, that your weight isn’t what defines you, that his inability to see your worth isn’t what defines you, and you would start seeing that what defines you is your heart, your personality, how you treat those around you, your good deeds that you do ALL OF THE TIME, your faith, your friendships, your love for others, your love for yourself and the super sweet, special, genuine, kind-hearted, loving, hilarious girl that you are is what defines you.

You would see that you are the strongest, most genuine, kindest, most beautiful, worthy, loving, giving, best girl around if you could just see yourself through my eyes.
