Ghost Child
Little one,
You’re going to make a crazy life changing decision .It’s going to be scary for a while .
There will be times you want to give up, but you’ll never regret it.
Mom and Dad they did their best.
You’ll be upset for a while but you’ll come to understand that they had their own life experiences and only could do what they knew how to do.
When you leave home just know it all works out.
Even as a kid you navigated the world and all its hardships with strength and determination.
Easily you could have made some bad decisions.
But it wasn’t in your character to take the easy way. You’ll have to work very hard for a very long time.
Even as a grownup things will be hard but you’ll understand more and you’ll get a sense of who you are and your place in this wild world.
You’re not going to be alone. You’ll have life long friendships with people who stand with you when you can’t stand on your own. They will love you when you can’t do it for yourself.
Home is a place you finally come to in your 30s.
It took 19 years but you get that warmth and safety you looked for , for so long. It took a while many homes that didnt feel like home,but you’ll understand why you had to take this path to get to where you finally belong .
You’ll find solace in music and in nature and with your made up family.
You’ll reach out to mom and dad over the years and you’ll learn forgiveness you’ll ask them to tell you their story.
They loved you the whole time. You were loved the whole time , but you did what you had to do and you become a beautiful person because of it.
No matter what life throws at you, you are resilient. No one can take away your love for life no matter what happens. All the love you gave comes back to you.
You’re an oracle of light
You’ll get it right.Voting is closed

Samantha, this is a beautiful letter to yourself that both encourages and offers hope to the younger version of you. Sometimes, life seems absolutely impossible to navigate. It is so wonderful that you are able to look back and say, with confidence, that you will eventually find the home you’ve been looking for. Thank you for sharing your story!
