You are loved. You are worthy. You are enough. You are strong. You are good.

I know you stumble sometimes, and I know that some falls are bigger than others. My dear friend, I am truly sorry you are hurting, but please know that you are not alone. I am here. I will help pick up your pieces, hold you together or sit and be broken with you. I am here to share your burden. I am deeply inspired by your ability to persevere with positivity and courage. I know you don’t always feel strong, but you put on a beautiful brave face and push through. You don’t have to do this alone. If you reach for me, know that I will be there each and every time.

Please know that your best is enough, even when it feels like it isn’t. You may not feel successful, but know that you are.

You inspire me to be my best self and to help you be your best self. I believe in you, friend. I know you will find your success.

Give yourself some credit. You have made it this far, and you have already done incredible things. My friend, this is just the beginning! You have so much potential; so much love and light to share.

You want to work with a special population? Do it! You want to teach? Do it! You want to save lives? Do it! You can. You can do all of this in more. I believe in you, dear friend. Please believe in you too.

Whenever you start to doubt yourself, read this letter. I will always be there to help you find your way; to share in your struggles and celebrate your successes.

You are brave. You are capable. You are inspiring. You are important. You are good.
