Dear Jen,

Just know that you are loved. You are a special girl with a heart of gold. I love how you express yourself so freely and you have no problems with confidence. You laugh reading this. Felling a bit insecure? Don't be. You are a beautiful young girl. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. You may be felling loss and puzzled now, but that is a part of growing up. Confront your fears and learn from your mistakes. Though it may seem like no one cares, someone always does. Someone is always there looking out for you though it may not appear that way. There are people who genuinely care and are willing to help, allow them in. Don't let one negative comment ruin destroy your self esteem but pause and think if they are right. If not forget them. Your are doing fine. Just keep pushing through. Never keep to yourself, talk to someone okay? Just as you have to accept criticism, you have to accept compliments. :) I just an email or phone call away if you want to talk okay? I'll always be here for you know that.
