Dear Leentje,

I see how ashamed you feel for your dreams. You feel lonely, unloved, powerless, anxious and jealous. How sad and awful. This is old pain. You are safe. I am here. Listen: your dreams are yours. You don’t deserve to be punished for them. You are magnificent, important and of value the way you are. I accept you. I like you. You are welcome. Develop and express yourself. You don’t have to be perfect. I support you. I will communicate your emotions, needs and boundaries, if necessary with the help of others. We cannot control how others respond to them. Believe: you can handle whatever comes your way. You got this. I believe in you. There is room for you. You don’t need to hide. You are beautiful, wonderful, awesome, great, pure, unique, lovely and special. Receive the love, attention and acceptance. You are loved. You belong.

Much love,

Loreen
