It takes courage to allow yourself to feel happy despite anything else going on. Despite the loss, despite longing, despite loneliness and fatigue, despite fear, despite the physical pain, despite sorrow and burdens. It takes courage to look past those hardships to still see the beauty in the world. To laugh and delight in small pleasures. To still keep living with hope and gratitude. It takes courage to be uniquely you in a world that seems to want conformity. It takes faith to believe in miracles and magic. It takes love to keep going because love is infinite and always inside of you if you choose it.

To the little girl inside,

I have not lost you or your dreams. My path has shifted and swerved over the years but the true dream is still alive and well. I still want to play, laugh and have fun. I am still here to make things, to tell stories and to inspire. I will be here for you whenever you need me and we can draw, paint, sing and dance to your heart’s content. I will take care of you and you have nothing to worry or fear.

With much love,
42 y.o. you
