You impress me each and every day with your bravery and relentless determination.
And just when you thought youd catch a break, the universe came back to take even more.

Yet you eventually wiped away your tears and started putting the pieces back together.
Youve learned a lot about yourself this year, too, confirming some of your biggest fears.
Those long-avoided character defects have now walked out into the spotlight of center stage.
However, Im proud of you for setting aside your pride and taking time to fight your demons.
Asking for help is never comfortable, yet you somehow made it look so easy.
You finally embraced your darkness and your light and started working towards some inner healing.
Youve always cowered and conformed to the wishes of everyone else, never once questioning how it impacted you.
Although it felt distressing to take a stand, you needed to for your own survival.
Thats why Im so proud of you for finally allowing yourself the space to speak freely from your heart.
I know you once worried about pleasing others at the expense of your own self-care.
This year has left you beaten down and exhausted I get it.
But in case I havent made it clear: Im proud of you for surviving this year.
You impress me each and every day with your bravery and relentless determination.
I hope that youll soon see the wondrous woman I see and feel just as honored to know her.
Im proud of you for surviving this year, and I hope youre proud of yourself, too.
