Elle Vampa

Dear Elle,

You are so much more than “a lose chain”, someone who keeps carrying water to the sea, against better knowledge. You just don’t see it yet.

Even on your worst days, you are beautiful.

On those days, it’s just excruciatingly difficult to hear anything else than the demons in your head, spewing their endless negativity relentlessly.

Therefore I am writing you this letter. So that even on a bad day, you can see that I love you, that I am proud of you and that I believe in you!

You aren’t dumb – you’re brilliant, remember?
You aren’t ugly – you have a divine body.
You are not the problem – in fact, you are very often the solution!

Everyone has the right to experience a bad day from time to time. Even if that happens more often than to others, and even if the time in between those days is shorter than for others.

Your relentless carrying of the water to the sea tells me you’ll never give up. You will always try to give the very best of yourself.

Even on a bad day. Even if the sea is too big and your bucket too little. You carry on, persevere.

And that becomes you.

But you don’t have to do it.

Run a little slower today, dear Elle. Use your bucket to create a sandcastle or just sit down and look around you.

For no matter how much the beach is threatened to be swallowed by the sea, don’t panic: ebb will duly come.

And if someone did or say something horrible to you today, making you (extra) upset: they are all liars!

I know they are lying, because I know you like no one else does. And you will never cease to do anything as GOOD as possible.

Even having a bad day.

So let it all go, let loose, let yourself fall. I will catch you and I will hold you. Forever.

Dear Elle, even on a bad day, I wouldn’t want to be anyone else.

I love you. Unconditionally. To being you, I’ll always say YES!

Truly Yours Truly,
Elle Vampa
