Dear Leentje,

You are not a copy of Perfecti and that is okay. Perfecti rejects you. That’s not your fault. The rejection hurts bad, is uncomfortable and makes a big whole in your heart. This emptiness makes you feel very unloved, lonely, powerless, dissapointed, disgusted, miserable, frustrated, discouraged, sad, light headed, tired, dizzy and short of breath. It makes you frown, quiver, clench your teeth and tense up your shoulders and neck. I see your need for acceptance. I accept you. You don’t have to be perfect. I am proud of you. I am thankful for you. I see your need for autonomy too. You are unique. This makes you feel very worried, distraught and anxious. You don’t deserve to be punished. You are safe. I am here. Hold my hand. You are important, of value and magnificent the way you are. I believe in you. Look at me. I love you unconditionally.

Much love,

Loreen
