My dearest son/daughter,

I sincerely would want to hope you are well and safe.

Before you read through this letter, would you mind tapping your shoulder and telling yourself
these words:

“I MATTER.”
“I AM LOVED. I AM ACCEPTED. I AM FORGIVEN. I AM FREE.”
“I AM NOT INSIGNIFICANT, AND I AM ENOUGH.”
“I CAN GET THROUGH ALL THIS BECAUSE I AM STRONG AND COURAGEOUS.”

Whatever you may be going through right now, you got to tell yourself “THIS TOO SHALL PASS.”
We, most of the times go through or walk the dark valleys but just as it says, we WALK and GO
THROUGH it. We do not stay. You may not understand a lot of things happening around you,
but a day will come, SURELY COME, that it will all make sense. So, keep moving forward and
advance. When you fall, you fall forward.

You may not see a progress, but A STEP FORWARD is still a progress. Don’t live with the
standards this world is throwing at you. You have your own story and you only hold the pen to
write it. Don’t let other people write it for you. You are important! Always remember that.

Do not forget that whenever you need listening ears I will and am one of them. May you have a
great rest tonight.

Lovingly,

Sir Iyen Echapare
