The typical thing for me to say would be, “You’re worth it,” but I’m not here to give you a typical letter. Yes, you are worth it, but you deserve to hear so much more.
You are unique, phenomenal, amazing: you are YOU. I know that it’s easy to focus on the bad aspects of your body or personality, but they are the things that make you yourself.
I always struggled with the fact that I do not have the best face, hair, or body, but I’ve realized that I am not supposed to. I am not meant to be perfect. No one is meant to be perfect. We were created to be perfect as we are, not to try and match these typical standards of beauty that society has deemed “acceptable” or “perfect.” You are meant to be the way you are.
Your flaws make you who you are. Although you may not love them, they are a part of your being. So what, you have a pointy nose or a big mouth. As I have said, you are unique. Although you do have flaws, you will not be known for them, you will be known for your strengths. Focus on the good.
So many people care about you. You are loved by so many people in so many different ways.
I know that it is definitely a battle to realize your self-worth, but just know that it is worth it. You are worth it. You are amazing. You are phenomenal. You are so much more than your internal struggles.
There will be good days, and there will be not so good days. Some days you just have to create your own sunshine, and that’s okay. I’m rooting for you. The world is rooting for you. You can do this.
Sincerely,
A girl who has definitely been in your shoes
