?? AFFIRM ??

Dear Leentje,

I see you. You feel unloved, lonely, ashamed and frustrated. How awful. This is old pain. You are safe. I am here. I accept you. I support you. I will communicate your boundaries, needs and emotions, if necessary with the help of others. I respect you. We cannot control how they respond. How they respond is not your fault. Believe: you can handle whatever comes your way. You got this. I believe in you. You are important, of value and magnificent the way you are. You are a diamond. Let me comfort you: pour you unlimited cups of tea, wrap a soft blanket around you and hug you tight. Hold and squeeze this pillow. MWAH. On your temple. Look at me: you are loved. You belong. It is okay to miss your parents and the ones you deeply care about. Keep them in your heart. Your memories are yours.

Much love,

Loreen
