To the incredible girl who's standing up there, 

If no one is no longer telling you how awesome you are, 

I will. 

You're just absolutely awesome just the way you are ♡

The way you perceive the world reflects your unique outlook. 

Kindness radiates from your presence and the way you interpret the world. 

Every time I had doubts, I realized that pretending to be strong all the time was impossible. 

The passionate girl I once looked down upon, now I see you standing strong. 

You have withered any storm that comes your way.

If you need to rest, take that time, because you are the standard. 

You are meant to be loved, and you are worth it. 

It's okay to question your path, and your actions, and take pauses along the way. 

It's okay to be cautious, to grieve, to react strongly. 

Let things flow as they may. 

Time flies,

I've seen sorrow and happiness come and go. 

I've seen people walk in and out of my life. 

I've seen seasons changing over time.

Gradually, 

I've come to think of mistakes as something that let me grow. 

I've come to think about the correct amount of worry let me prepare for the next challenges. 

I've come to think the past is something that can't be changed, the future is something that I can't see, and my present day is a gift.
