Dear Me,
Look at you!
Not the version that doubted herself. Not the woman who wondered if she was enough. Look at the woman standing here now, weathered by storms, softened by love, and strengthened by every chapter she thought might break her🦋
You have carried so much. You have loved deeply, lost deeply, and somehow still found the courage to keep your heart open. That is no small thing🦋
You built a home from pieces of yourself. You created beauty from pain, art from healing, and memories from ordinary moments. Through your lens, you’ve shown others their worth, while quietly learning your own🦋
There were seasons when you felt lost at sea, drifting between who you were and who you were becoming. But like the tides you love so much, you were never truly lost, only changing shape🦋
The wrinkles around your eyes are maps of laughter. The scars on your heart are proof that you dared to love. The wisdom in your soul was earned one sunrise, one goodbye, one brave decision at a time🦋
Your grandchildren see magic in you.
Your children see strength in you.
Your friends see light in you.
And it’s time you saw it too🦋
You do not need to shrink, explain, or apologise for the space you occupy in this world. You belong here exactly as you are wild-hearted, resilient, creative, and free🦋
Keep chasing sunsets.
Keep telling stories.
Keep dancing barefoot through the seasons of your life🦋
The woman you once dreamed of becoming is already here🦋
With love and gratitude,
Me🫶🏾
