Dear Inner Child, 

There will come a time when you come to understand for yourself that there is only so much others can do for you- you have to do for yourself. 

The World is made up of Egos and facades and, unfortunately, we are raised to feed that but please don’t give into that. It won’t always be easy but it is necessary. There will come a time when you will be misunderstood and shamed into thinking and being like others but, please hold onto your authenticity. That is how your light will shine. 

I know that sometimes you wish you had role models who showed you how to love in a healthy way but somethings we have to learn for ourselves. It’s not up to who raised you to define you or validate you, it is up to you. 

I know that sometimes you feel like a small dot in The Universe because you are. Instead of that frightening you, let it humble you. So that no matter what you accomplish or don’t, you can still be grateful. 

There will be people who are around to teach you: family, friends and boyfriends who at times will be kind, at times will press your buttons and, at times will hurt you to your core. Their words are not God’s word. Yes, continue to work on yourself but do not be shackled by what you did a year, ten years or a lifetime ago. Apologize, forgive yourself and create healthy habits. Because life is too precious to live it ashamed, guilted and manipulated into. 

There is power in truth and please don’t forget that. Secrets fester in the dark, truth is light. Sometimes it blinds us but then we find our way. Whatever that way is, do it in the light.
