Dear, Monkey 1

I see you.

I see your difficulties and challenges. I see the effort you’ve been putting in to make it through each day. I see the emotional wounds and the battles you’re facing in releasing what’s behind you. I see you all of you.

I see your battles and doubts. I don’t understand how someone who can be so astonishing can have so much self-doubt. I see your insecurities and thoughts screaming inside you, trying to take control of every part of you.

I also see your bright smile and how it brightens up every room you walk into. I see how big your heart is and how no one can ever compare. I see your dedication. You have the ability to put everything you’re feeling aside. You do this for the sole purpose of making sure no one else feels it too.

I see your courage and fearlessness. I admire it so much; it’s one of my favorite things about you. You can be so unafraid and strong-willed; it’s mesmerizing. You have just started scratching the surface. You’ve done so much already. You aren’t even close to fulfilling your destiny.

I see your future and all your accomplishments that no one can achieve except you. I see how promising and open your future is and how incredible it’s going to be. I can’t wait to see you shine.

I know one day you will see yourself the way I see you. The day that happens, you will finally tap into the treasure inside you. God, I can’t wait until you see yourself.
