“When you feel unseen
I will see you
When you feel unappreciated
I will celebrate your brilliance and applaud your success
When you feel unwanted
I will welcome and embrace you
When you feel unheard
I will listen to you
When you feel unloved
I will shower you with love and affection
When you feel weak and powerless
I will remind you of your inner strength
When you feel exhausted and weary
I will let you rest and recuperate
When you feel hurt and betrayed
I will give you space to heal and mend your heart
When you feel stuck and stagnant
I will empower you to regain momentum
When you make mistakes
I will celebrate your growth and progress
When you stumble and fall
I will help you recover, then rise
When you feel shame
I will remind you that no single human being is perfect
When you feel insecure
I will remind you of your gifts, talents and strengths
When you feel strange, weird or quirky
I will embrace your uniqueness and authenticity
When you feel ugly
I will remind you of your unique beauty
When you feel like giving up
I will remind you of the reason you first began
When you feel discouraged
I will comfort and reassure you in your depths
When you feel suffocated by life
I will hold your hand through the darkness
When you feel lost
I will help you navigate through the murkiness of life
When you feel lonely
I will show up fully for you
When you doubt yourself
I will remind you of your potential
And when you feel invisible and insignificant
I will remind you who you are.”
