Emma, this is AMAZING. You are so creative and I loved this piece. The end is my favorite: “I love that you don’t even know what I’m talking about.
You aren’t trying to define yourself. You just are.” Most little kids don’t care about what others think of them or how they look. It is society that makes us believe that we should be insecure. You are beautiful and you have so much strength and I am so glad that you wrote this. Great work ♥
