I hope you’re loved and cherished
If not, I hope you love and cherish yourself

I hope that when you look into the mirror today, you won’t see everything you lack, but everything that makes you

I hope you know you’re beautiful
I hope you know that people come in different shapes and sizes, and there’s nothing wrong with your body

I hope you know that all gold and diamonds and silver and bronze put together can never measure up to your worth

I hope you know that you’re enough

I hope that in your eyes, you see not your failures but a person strong enough to get up after each fall

I hope you see a survivor of broken hearts and broken trust, one strong enough to love and trust again

I hope you know that the human race is of different colours and origins

And I hope you know that the only thing that matters is a person’s heart, colour doesn’t define who you are ‘cause it’s just that: colour

I hope you know the difference between living and existing

And I hope you’re living, not for anyone else but you

I hope you believe in yourself enough not to seek another’s validation

I hope you know that the only opinion of you that matters is yours.

Dedicated to you, who's reading it.
But especially to my baby Fay❤ epitome_of_elegance
