Welcome to our #deargrrrl project inspired by Dr Carolyn Becker. We're asking you to write a letter to a younger you. It's a process to promote self love, self esteem and forgiveness. To share your knowledge, help heal the scars of childhood, and help others that need encouragement right now. PLEASE join us & #deargrrrl  Dear Kort Wow. I’m not even sure where to start. I hate to tell you, but you’re about to experience the most challenging years of your life. You grew up with family who were sick from alcoholism. You need to know that they aren't bad people who need to get good, but sick people who need to get well. Be mindful that you'll walk straight into their shoes if you don’t watch your behaviours. Everything that you are about to experience is an opportunity to grow stronger. You're exactly where you’re meant to be in your journey, of every second that you are experiencing life. You simply cannot fail - you are merely learning. Know that you are fully responsible for your life. You are not a victim. You'll make bad decisions from time to time, but as long as you take responsibility for your part, make amends, and do the next right thing, you can never truly do any wrong. Also, if you have to lie about something, you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place. You have spent your life hating your body, but I want to tell you that you are a masterpiece. I commend you for continuing to get up every time you felt like dying. While you fumble through these awkward years of your life trying to “figure it all out”, just know that you don’t have to know what your purpose is, ever. It may be big, it may be small. But trust the process. Know that there is a God, and you aren't it my dear. Ask for guidance from The Universe, our ego-centric minds will never be able to navigate this world on our own. Know there are 1000 ways to do something, and the only one that is factually ‘right’ is the one that works for you. Trust your intuition. Slow down. Forgive yourself. Remember that the present moment is all we truly have. Finally, we operate from either 1 of 2 places: Fear or Love.
