“Write yourself a love letter”, she said. Well –

My love,

I want to start off by saying that I’m so proud of you. I am proud of you for being so relentless and unyielding in your quest to grow and better yourself. To grow into the You you know you can be. To grow backwards into the You you lost in the process of growing up.

I am so proud of you for sticking to your guns. I am proud of you for choosing Love. Can you believe we are here, at 31, feeling more love, loving and loved than ever? You never could imagine this day coming, remember? You couldn’t imagine life beyond your 20s. Well, let me just tell you my darling, it just keeps getting better and better. And Better. As long as you always stay true to yourself, you won’t lose your way. Or you’ll at least always find your way back.

I am proud of you for your courage. For your courage to try new things, to trod new paths. I am proud of your beginner mind. Remain humble as you are. Never stop asking questions. You’ll keep discovering and unraveling more truths to guide you in life.

I think that’s a lot of what I want to say. You may not hear it much, but I won’t tire of reminding you how proud of you I am. You are worthy. You are enough. You are more than enough. You are abundant. You live in abundance. You are infinite. Your soul is a blinding light that can illuminate the darkest of spaces. Even when it dims, don’t forget its potential for brightness.

I love you. I love you. I love you. Thank you for fighting. Thank you for breathing. Thank you for being. You.

Love,
You.
