Dear Friend,

From the bottom of my heart I wish you happy holidays! This season I wish you the best in life and hope that all is well for you and those you love. Now, putting aside my wants and wishes for you, I recognize that this part of the year can be tough, whether it be financially, emotionally, politically, academically, or whatnot. So, whenever you are feeling down, please remember that:

-Your happiness is our happiness!

-You are stronger than you think!

-You make a difference!

-You matter!

-You are beautiful in every way shape & form!

-You're someone's role model whether you're aware of it or not!

-You've touched countless people's hearts and changed their lives for the better (again, whether you're aware of it or not)!

-Everyday you are the reason someone smiles!

-Someone genuinely and completely loves you for you (maybe it's me 😁)!

I know that times can get tough; sometimes they can get really, really bad and you might think of doing scary things. So I won't just tell you to "stop being sad" because we all know that's about as effective as trying to move a mountain with your bare hands. Instead, I'm telling you that it's okay to feel down and it's okay to take the time to take care of yourself. Whether you believe it or not, we all want you to be the best you can be, and only YOU know how to do that.

You are loved and not alone.

Much love from the Millennials of Florida
