A Letter to Her Own

 Hey there,

You know you were very quiet. No, it’s not because you didn’t have a decision in the matter; you were only doing what you thought was right. People tried to correct you, but you naively took it as they were trying to pull you a stray. You’re a good girl, who wished to do no wrong & feared speaking up or speaking at all if not spoken to or if it was speaking against something or someone was wrong & disrupting peace. Little did you know little one while you were doing so you were distorting & disrupting your own peace.  But here, after all this time, here is your permission to speak your mind & to do so without having to raise your hand. Don’t be shy. Go on, the floor is all yours little one. Speak up & do it confidently because you have things to say.  You might not know it yet, but you have people to say it to & they will be all ears. Keep your journal full of stories. One day you’ll have the space to be able to share them.
