Dear Jessica,
Today is 34 years of trying to carry everything. You try so hard. You give everything. You love intensely. I need you to stop trying so hard. You are beautiful and valuable because you are here. The world tells you who you should be. The world is wrong. The world is lying. The world is hurting you. You can’t be what the world want you to be and be whole. I want you to be whole. I want you to try so hard to human. I want you to give everything to being human. I want you to intensely love every aspect of your humanity. I know we have so far to go but maybe, we can start with today, right now. Stay here with me. We will get to the next step together when it comes.
Happy Birthday. I love you.
-Jessica
