Hello,
My name is Charlotte.
I was wondering if I could tell you a story,
But not just any story,
A story about you.
Yes,
You.
Are you sitting comfortably?
Then I shall begin.
Once upon a time,
There was the most perfect and precious you.
Everything about you is perfect.
The way you look,
The way you sound,
The way you learn and move around.
You may feel different,
But that's okay,
Because trying to be the same just gets in the way.
Be like you,
The most perfect and precious you.
You can do anything you want to do,
But be kind and be caring and love yourself and with that start sharing.
I can't even find the words to begin to tell you how important it is to love you,
Perfect and precious you.
You can watch the stars,
You can imagine travelling all the way to Mars,
You can smell the freshest of flowers,
You can spend time writing stories and I mean for hours.
You can paddle in a stream caring for nature.
You can take your world and be the creator.
You can do anything,
The most perfect and precious you.
So close your eyes and imagine,
Imagine soaring through the sky above the clouds way up high.
You can bring laughter and happiness and feel within you all of that lovely fuzziness.
You can do anything,
The most perfect and precious you.
You might not believe me,
But no matter if you do or even if you don't,
I know about you and I know you are amazing and you can have the life you want and deserve.
You don't need to prove anything to anyone,
Let those days be gone.
I know about you,
The most perfect and precious you.
Sometimes you forget to love who we are and for that love we look near but also far and we search in other places,
Some even put on other people's faces and life it becomes a collection of races but just stop and stand still.
Take a deep breath and just for a moment stop climbing that hill and in the stillness of the air look inside yourself and allow yourself to be there.
There in the moment,
There in this time,
There is nowhere in this moment that is left to climb.
I know about you,
The most perfect and precious you.
You might have what some people would describe as a disability,
It might be with learning or physically but you can show them so they can see.
This is exactly who you are meant to be.
You are an incredible star,
Don't ever think you are not good enough because you are.
I promise you,
I know who you are,
You are perfect and precious and good enough for anything you want.
Give up on using the words I can't.
Keep an open mind and your dream it will find you,
Beautiful,
Perfect and precious you.
You are destined to spend your life being amazing,
Don't let anyone stand in your way or say you can't follow your dreams.
You've got this,
You can do this,
The most perfect and precious you.
And if I could tell you one thing before I go,
Just one thing that is left to show,
Never take part in giving up and following your perfect and precious heart.
Follow your dreams,
You can climb mountains and travel the streams.
Don't try and fit in or be like anyone else,
Show everyone who you are,
Don't be afraid because you will go far,
All the way up to your chosen star.
Don't ever look back and wish you'd never stood still because if you didn't,
Just for this moment,
You would never have realised what's at the top of that hill,
The perfect and precious you.
