A Letter to my Younger Self

Dear Little M,

Life has been a never ending rollercoaster for you, I know you have always felt like you were never good enough or do not deserve greatness. I am here to tell you, quite the opposite. I know things may seem tough, may seem impossible. I completely understand that you feel defeated in everything you do because everyone has always told you who you will and won't become.

You will add so much to your plate because you want to prove to the world that you are good enough to accomplish big things. You no longer have to prove to those people, the only person you need to prove is yourself.

There is going to be times where you feel lost, overwhelmed, and most definitely scared; however, dig deep remember who you are. Everything you have experienced happens for a reason. You may not see it now but you are in control of your own destiny.

Remember to:

• Wear your heart on your sleeve

• Do not allow others to determine your worth

• Do not strive for greatness strive to be the best possible version of you

• Don't be afraid to stand up for what you believe in

• Allow yourself time to process and heal the trauma you have experienced, do not try to hide it away. Your strength and resilience defines who you are

You are going to accomplish incredible things, don't let anyone dull your sparkle!

Love,

Big M
