Hey, how are you doing? Life can get really hard when you’re in a really dark place, but I want you to know that it will be okay. The world is a better place with you here. Despite what you’re going through and everything that’s happened, you are an amazing person. Even though there are many people in your past that have put you through hell and did terrible things, the goodness in your heart shines so much. People all around you can see it. There are some people out there who are jealous and try to extinguish your light. They say hurtful things that no one deserves to hear, especially you. You are amazing! Don’t let those people who are against you tear you down. Their actions reflect their bad character and whatever they said to you, it’s not true. The world is brighter with you in it. Look at all that you have accomplished. The places you’ve been, the people you’ve met. You have touched their lives more than you could possibly know. Their lives have been changed for the better because of you. Only you could’ve done that because you are a wonderful person. You bring people joy and happiness. All the hurt and trauma you’ve experienced, it’s not right and you did nothing to deserve it. The strength it took for you to make it this far is so incredible. Not many people are as strong as you. You are an inspiration.

Don’t try to discount your strength and what you’ve overcome. You deserve all the praise of choosing everyday to live and bring goodness to the lives around you. Unfortunately, the war isn’t over yet. I know you feel weary and you’re tired, but you have to keep going. Don’t let the darkness win because your light shines so bright. There are people in your future that you need to meet. They need to hear from you and you need to hear from them. They’re going to bring growth and happiness. I know it’s scary to think about the future because so many people in your past have just brought pain, but there are still good people in this world, just like you. This fight takes effort and sometimes all you want to do is give up, but you need to hang in there a little bit longer because good things are coming. I admire and respect your strength to carry on. It is truly inspirational and there are going to be people in your life that choose to continue because of you. Please don’t forget how good you are. I know I don’t know what you’ve been though and who’s hurt you, but I do know that you are strong, you are brave, and you are amazing. Be you fearlessly and show the world what an awesome badass you really are! I hope you take this letter to heart because it’s true and I want you to know that you are not your past. You are not the horrible things people have said to you. You are wonderful and truly good. Please carry on with strength to fight the darkness because this world needs more good people like you.

Love,
Iris
