To the girl that I used to be 10 years ago.
I know you are hopeless and cannot imagine a life not filled with disorder and chaos.
I know you think that your future is bleak.
I want to tell you that great changes are coming.
I want to tell you not to give up hope… just hang in there for a bit longer and you will see…
You will see how great your potential is.
You will see that life will provide you with miracles.
You will see magic happening before your very eyes.
You have an incredible journey ahead of you.
I want to hold you in my arms and tell you, sweet girl, that everything is going to be alright.
More than alright…. Everything is going to be amazing.
The girl I used to be had almost given up hope of having a normal life.
She was heartbroken and sad when she looked around her because she could see happiness and life in everybody but herself.
What I know to be true now is this. Miracles can and do happen if you allow yourself to believe in them. With even a little bit of belief in yourself, and a resilient spirit, you can turn your life around and achieve things you have never allowed yourself to dream of.
To anyone out there who does not believe… take a second to consider that an amazing life could be just around the corner… do not give up… open your eyes and your heart to the possibility of great things.
And remember… your life will shrink or expand in proportion to one’s courage.
So, muster all the courage you can, and move forward in any way that you can.
And if you cannot move forward in any way right now, please remember to believe in miracles and hold onto a level of hope. Please do not allow yourself to lose hope completely. Take my story as proof that great change can occur. And take my story as proof that anything is possible.
Who knows where you will be in 10 years’ time?
I never would have imagined the life I am living now.
And I am so very grateful.
Love Kate xx
