You’re one of a kind. There’s not a single person in this world like you. You’re so different from the rest, so special, that I want you to know that, I really hope you know that.

Please, don’t let nothing steal your peace. Don’t let people’s expectations, hate, envy, or whatever other feeling or opinion they may have about you, discourage you or steal your dreams.

When you stare at your reflection in the mirror, when you find yourself thinking about your past experiences or “failed” relationships, I hope you also remember how deserving you are of being loved with a pure love, hope you remember you’re not your mistakes, hope you remember your worth, and that you can’t hold any type of guilt forever.

Hey, you’re loved. I always tell you this, because it’s true. When I look at you, I see energy, I see talent, I see someone special. Please, don’t let nothing overshadow your inner light.

I know your heart is big, don’t be afraid to open it up to the right person. Don’t be afraid of trying new things, keep believing in yourself.

The pain exists to makes us know that we can be healed. Challenges exist to make us grow. Some situations happen to make us know how strong we can be, how powerful we can become when we simply choose to be positive and ignore anything else.

Today, and always, I wish you well. Stay surrounded by those who love and value you for who you are. My heart chose to love you, and I accepted this with open arms. For eleven years straight, you’re like family to me, you’re in every prayer I say.

I hope you find people who will embrace you and enrich your journey. I hope you find strength and compassion to overcome those who wish you bad.

Hope you understand your purpose. Hope the deepest desire of your heart comes true. Hope you see more sunrises, and feel grateful for every sunset.

Here’s to another stepping stone. Here’s to a new chapter. A new chance to make everything work out for good. I know you can make it. You will make it. It’ll be worth it, you’ll see. YOU ARE WORTH IT.

May God bless you in every aspect of your life.

You’ll be forever my favorite, Happy Birthday!

For all the air that’s in your lungs
For all the joy that is to come
For all the things that you’re alive to feel.

With love, Deise ♡
