My dear Emily, you came home from school upset once again. Children can be exceedingly harsh, often without realizing their impact. You feel isolated, ridiculed, and alone. There’s a small, dim bathroom stall that has absorbed your tears all too often.

While I can’t erase your pain, I can offer my embrace and a listening ear. Share your feelings with me. Let it all out on my shoulder instead of the cold, unfeeling tiles of the restroom. I’m here for you, always. And once you’ve released those emotions, can you stay a moment longer? I have important truths to share:

  1. Crying is a Natural Release. Allowing your emotions to flow through tears can be incredibly healing. Embrace your feelings, acknowledge your pain, and then let it go. Remember, the sooner you finish your cry, the sooner joy can return.
  2. Your Happiness is Yours Alone. The key to your happiness resides within you. It’s not something I can give or that can be purchased—no one can take it from you. With unlimited potential, you can choose happiness each day, in every circumstance. Embrace that power and live joyfully.
  3. You Are Capable of Overcoming Challenges. Dream big, my love, and then take action. The possibilities before you are endless! You possess a unique array of talents and skills. Nurture them, enhance them, and cherish your individuality. Discover your path and let your journey flourish.
  4. You Are Inherently Beautiful. There are no conditions or exceptions to your beauty. You are stunning every day, whether you just woke up with tousled hair or your eyes are red from tears. You shine after a muddy adventure or when you feel unwell. Your beauty radiates in every moment, especially when you smile.
  5. You Are Important. Your significance has never been in question. You matter to your family who cherish every part of you—the good and the challenging. You matter to your teachers who strive to help you learn and grow. You even matter to those you haven’t met yet. Your value is unwavering and eternal.
  6. My Love for You is Unconditional. I loved you long before you arrived in this world. I loved you from the moment I heard your first cry. I loved you through every joyful and challenging moment. My love remains steadfast, even when you struggle to love yourself. This love is my superpower, always available to you, unwavering and eternal.

The kids who tease you do not see the whole you; they only glimpse a fraction of your existence. They are unaware of your true worth—do not let their words define you. I know you deeply and recognize your potential. They cannot hold you back unless you allow them to do so.
