I want you to understand this:

You often get told it's never too late.

But rarely that transition later in life has its benefits too. Something you don't get early in life.

Aside from the hardships and trauma and all that stuff, you are a strong person. Hear me? It might not yet feel like it, but trust me. It will come.

You know what you want. You know what you don't want. You give a flying shit about what others think about you. That's a type of freedom not many people get to experience.

And know what? THIS is what makes you attractive to other people. The you nobody ever saw before.

Go out there and shine! You deserve it and others deserve to see you too!
