"Courage, dear heart." -Aslan, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
"I know my value." -Agent Peggy Carter
Dearest Sister,
I know the world bombards you with messages.
It tells you how it thinks you should think.
It tells you how it thinks you should act.
It tell you how it thinks you should dress.
It tells you how it thinks you should have fun.
It tell you how it thinks you should be a daughter, a sister, a friend, and a girlfriend.
But I'm telling you that you don't have to do what the world says.
Those two quotes above are short and sweet, but what power each of them holds.
Power to remind you who you are, and what a cherished creature you are.
Take courage, and be kind.
Know your value, and know that you were created to be unique.
Take courage, and stand up when all others are sitting down.
Know your value, and know that you are worth so much more than someone telling you "If you love me, you'll let me...", or "If you love me, you'll do this..."
Take courage, and befriend the person other people shun.
Know your value, and know that true beauty goes so far beyond your jean size or facial features.
Take courage, and know that it is far better to be alone than with someone is with you only because of what you can give them.
Know your value, and know that you are someone worth waiting for.
Take courage, and be silly.
Know your value, and know that your scars are part of what make you a masterpiece.
Take courage, and be a ground breaker when everyone else is content to go with the flow.
Know your value, and know that your relationship status does not define you.
Take courage, and love the downtrodden.
Know your value, and know that the Maker of the Universe calls you His daughter, and loves you extravagantly.
Take courage, dear heart and know your value.
