Hey, I see you. I know that's all you've ever wanted. I know all you knew was feeling invisible but I see you. I remember the sadness but I am so impressed by you, I am so happy that you decided to keep going no matter how hard or confusing life seemed. It's hard right now because we never thought we would live this long. I know it's confusing but I have no one to thank but you. You kept going, you kept smiling and would give the world to help other people even when you felt like you were breaking inside.

I know you never saw yourself as beautiful in any way but we worked on that and now I am no longer afraid of the mirror. You were always working on making things better for yourself and everyone around you that you sometimes forgot to be a kid. I’m sorry that happened to you, it wasn't fair but you learned how to survive, no matter what, you never stopped laughing, singing, dancing and making jokes. You never let the darkness win even when it scared the life out of you.

I know that no matter what you did it never felt like enough but I can't even begin to explain the strength and beauty you held. I want to do something for you, I want to stop taking life so seriously and let myself completely fall into happiness. It's not dangerous anymore, no one is going to hurt me like they did before. If anyone tries, I know now how to handle it, I am able to let people go. No one is going to hurt me like that again, I promise, for your sake that I will learn to have fun again, I will let my laugh be unapologetically loud and I will speak the words that are on my mind. I am still learning and that's okay because who I am today is enough.
