The older I get, the more I realize how much time I spent believing the lie that who I was wasn’t good enough. I find myself fighting to get all of that time back—all of the moments I wasted hiding who I was by trying to be something I wasn’t.
So as I sit here now, with years of living & learning behind me, I want so badly to go back in time to that little girl—who happens to be half Korean & shy and a little bit self-conscious—to tell her that not only is she good enough, but she is extraordinary.
I want to go back & tell her to be kind to herself bc the world needs who she was made to be. And believe me when I say the same is true for you. I hope you find the courage to embrace all that you are—all of your quirks, your beauty, your brilliance—because the world needs YOU.
