Beloved,
Joy has always lived within you.
It is not hidden in the distance
it rests in the laughter of small moments,
in the softness of a smile,
in the wonder of simply being.
You were enough before the world told you otherwise.
You are enough now.
Let this truth steady your heart.
Express yourself as you are
unpolished, unfiltered, free.
Your authenticity is a prayer,
a gift only you can offer.
Love fully, but remember:
boundaries are also love.
Saying “no” is not rejection,
it is protection for the garden of your soul.
Do not mistake your softness for weakness.
Your vulnerability is the doorway
through which your greatest courage flows.
Laugh often. Dance lightly.
Let play remind you of freedom.
Your spirit was never meant to be heavy.
And when storms arrive, as they will,
trust your resilience.
You have risen before.
You will rise again.
I am still here for you
the child of light within you,
whole, radiant, and free.
Carry me forward,
and together, we will walk this path
with love, with strength, with joy.
