Yes. That would be you. That beautiful soul who opened this letter; it was written just for you.
It was written for the woman who believes she is not enough in this world. It was written for the girl who hates the way her hair falls on her shoulders and despises how her thighs look in a pair of jeans.
She hates the way her voice sounds on a recording and how she doesn’t look like one of those girls she sees on Instagram. She tries to change pieces of herself; the shade of white her teeth are, she wants to make them brighter. She wants to be funnier; she might take a mean pass at someone to make another laugh.
Afterwards she feels guilty. She feels bad because she hated on someone else for her own gain. But she tells herself it is okay. It was only one time and she didn’t mean it so it doesn’t really matter.
When she hates herself she forgets who she really is. She forgets the compassionate heart she has and how she wants to help the world and make it a better place. When she wants to perfect her pictures on Instagram, she forgets how beautiful her life is without a filter. She forgets her wicked and dry sense of humor that she got from her father, and grandfather alike. While she is trying to be someone else, she forgets how beautiful she is. She doesn’t remember that she is young and thriving and full of potential.
Yes, this letter is written for you. The woman that doesn’t believe that she is enough but should know that she is. You are. You are beautiful, capable, and brilliant; just to name a few. God created the mountains, the oceans, the hills and plains and He thought the world needed you to, because it does.
