The letter addresses a young child's struggles with self-worth and the misconception that love and acceptance must be earned. It emphasizes that the child is inherently valuable, deserving of love and permission to express needs and emotions freely. The writer reassures the child that they are enough just as they are and that vulnerability is a source of strength. The message seeks to heal past traumas by reminding the child of their worthiness and the beauty of their authentic self.
You didn’t have to try so hard to be loved. You didn’t have to carry the weight of everyone else's emotions on your little shoulders.
Real strength is found in your expressive language, tears and vulnerability. Real worthiness lives in your authenticity.
You were never too much. You were, and still are, a miracle in motion.
You never had to earn your place in this world. It was yours by birthright.
