Dear Emma Grace (a letter to future me)

I hope that someday you read this and laugh about how naive I am. I hope someday you're reading this and you're happy. Like really truly happy. I hope you're less anxious, and I hope you find new ways to have fun. I hope you're surrounded by people who make you feel good. I hope they support you and love you and you feel 110% comfortable with them. I hope you're doing something you love and that makes you feel satisfied. But most importantly Emma Grace, I hope you feel loved by yourself. I hope you see yourself the way God sees you, the way your sisters see you, and the way your closest pals see you. I hope you're happy with yourself and learn to speak up for yourself and those closest to you. I hope you're still fighting for fair treatment for others and hold that fiery passion in your heart.

You already know, that sometimes I struggle to get out of bed. I hope you wake up smiling and energized. I hope you don't feel alone, even when surrounded by people. Emma Grace, I hope you're taking care of yourself. I hope you know what you deserve, and don't settle for less.

Love,
Me

PS: I recommend everyone write themselves a letter to read in the future. It's gotten me through so much and gives a lot of clarity.
