I hope that even after everything you have been through, you still believe in great love. I hope that even after everything you have seen, you still have a hopeful heart. I hope that even after everything you have experienced, you still have big dreams planted in your soul. My beautiful friend, I hope you never let the hard times harden you so much that you lose your softness- your openness- to the beauty and wonder and magic of this life. Life will challenge you, but please don't let it take your light. Please don't let it harden you so much that you lose your spark. I hope you never stop believing in kindness even when the world feels unkind. I hope you never stop hoping for good things even when times feel so hard. I hope that if the hard times break you, they break you like a seed, opening you up to beautiful growth and the light above. I hope you see that even in the hard seasons, beautiful things can grow- and will grow. I hope that even after everything, you never give up.
