to whom it may concern

i hope you know how loved you are.
i hope you see it in the way the sun shines through the trees & dances across your face.
i hope you feel it in the small moments.
i hope you feel it in the big moments.
i hope you see it the way the sunrise says good morning & the sunset says good night.
i hope you know how loved you are.

but, if you don’t

i want you to know that there’s a place for you here.
i want you to know that you are welcomed and wanted.
i want you to know whatever yesterday held doesn’t follow you here.
i want you to know that there is hope and promises that have been made to you, for you. good promises, true promises.
i want you, with everything inside of your heart, to believe better things.
i want you to see all the wonder inside of you.
i want you to feel safe and known. i want you to feel like you matter. i want you to realize that you are part of something so much bigger than yourself. i want you to see that you are a beautiful part of this story.

you are loved.
you are so very loved.
