Dear Friend Letter..Continued

You may be insecure about your looks, your legs, your belly, your arms, your whatever. But why? Why are you insecure? You HAVE legs. You HAVE arms. You HAVE everything you need to survive. They're there and they are beautiful. They help you walk, help you talk, help you be the person everyone adores. Stop allowing yourself to tear yourself apart.

Could you do me a favor? Just stop. Stop and close your eyes. Breathe. And feel your heartbeat. Feel your surroundings. That. That feeling. The feeling of peace, of acceptance, of melting into the harmony of the world. That feeling is what somebody feels when you walk into the room. The feeling that froze their existence because you are so wonderfully beautiful. Because your laugh makes them bubble with joy. Because your smile is magical and makes them forget everything else. Because you are you.

I don't think you get told enough really how beautiful you are. Your beauty is so stunning that I don't believe how you can think that you are less than amazing. You are healthy, you have a gorgeous smile, and you are someone I admire. You are special. You have hopes, dreams, and a bright future. Nobody can ever take that away from you.

Please, for my sake, look in the mirror and smile. Smile because you are beautiful. Smile because it lights up everyone else's world. Smile because you mean it. Smile because you're alive. Smile because it's the best smile in the world.

Because you're beautiful and don't ever let anyone tell you different.

Love,
A Friend
