Dear Little Girl,

BE YOURSELF. It’s the one thing you can be 100% sure you will be AWESOME at.

At the end of the day, who you really are will always struggle to come out, regardless of how hard you try to keep it hidden. Sometimes pressure from friends, your significant other or a job you are taking on might make you feel like YOU are NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

Excuse my language, little girl, but that’s bullshit. Don’t fall into that trap. If your significant other makes you feel insecure, like you need to try so hard to please him or for him to accept you, then leave. You’ll never be happy with him.

If your friends won’t accept your little quirks, or that you like some things or some people that they consider uncool, time to find new friends.

If your job is stifling your creativity, your voice and your personal relationships, if you find no joy in it, Leave. You’ll waste away if you don’t.

BE YOURSELF. LOVE YOURSELF. LIKE YOURSELF. Know who you are, and what you aren’t. Accept. Live. Move on. Laugh. And at least once a day, Be Silly. It will do you a world of good.

Love, E
