My dear Emily, you returned home from school in tears once again. Children can be remarkably unkind, often without even realizing it. It’s heart-wrenching to see you feeling isolated, ridiculed, and alone. I know there is a small, dimly lit restroom stall that has become a refuge for your tears.

While I can’t erase your pain, I am here to embrace you and listen. Please, share your worries with me. Let your emotions flow on my shoulder instead of the cold, hard floor of that restroom. I’m here for as long as you need. After you’ve expressed your feelings, could you spare a few more moments? There are some important truths I want you to remember:

  1. Crying is Healthy. Allowing yourself to cry is a natural and therapeutic process. It’s important to acknowledge your feelings and let the hurt out. Remember, the quicker you let go of those tears, the sooner you can return to joy.
  2. Your Happiness is Yours Alone. The secret to your happiness lies within you. It’s not something I can gift you or that can be purchased. No one can take it away from you. Your happiness is boundless and timeless. You have the power to choose happiness every single day; embrace that strength and live joyfully.
  3. You Are Capable of Great Things. Dream boldly, my sweet Emily. Then rise and put in the effort to achieve those dreams. There are endless possibilities awaiting you! You possess a unique combination of skills and talents. Nurture them, refine them, and cherish them. Discover your own path in life and let it flourish.
  4. You Are Inherently Beautiful. Your beauty has no conditions or exceptions. You are beautiful when you wake up with messy hair, when your eyes are red and teary, even after an adventurous day in the mud. You are beautiful in every state—whether you’re feeling unwell, fatigued, or afraid. Your smile radiates beauty, and you are beautiful every day, always.
  5. Your Existence Matters. You have always held immense value. You matter to your family who witness your highs and lows. You are significant to the teachers striving to help you learn. You matter to the child you extended your hand to and even to the cashier who enjoys your wit. You are important to people you haven’t yet encountered. Your worth is eternal.
  6. My Love for You is Unchanging. I loved you before you took your first breath. I cherished you from the moment I heard your first cry. I loved you when you took your first steps and even during our difficult moments. My love for you remains steadfast, especially when you feel unloved or when others hurt you. It is my superpower—a constant force that you can rely on whenever you need it.

The children who tease you do not know you as I do. They see merely a fragment of your existence and are unaware of your true worth. Do not hold their opinions above mine. I understand who you are and what you can achieve. They cannot define your reality unless you permit them to.
