To My Younger Self (And Yours Too…) 💛
If I could send a message back in time—to the younger me, to the younger you—it would sound a little like this:
Those are your golden nuggets.
That’s the paradox of growing up. In school, it’s about fitting in. In life, it’s about standing out.
So don’t dim your light just because it makes people squint. Don’t shrink yourself for the comfort of others. Your weird is your win. You just need to live a little longer to see it.
And to the Mamas reading this—maybe you’re watching your daughter navigate this very thing right now. Maybe you remember what it felt like to be in her shoes. The best gift you can give her? Remind her she is already enough. That the parts of her she second-guesses are actually the ones that will make her unforgettable.
BEING DIFFERENT IS A GOOD THING.
IT MEANS YOU’RE BRAVE ENOUGH TO BE YOURSELF.

What’s one “weird” thing about you that turned out to be your superpower? 💛 I’d love to hear your story.
With Love,
