Didn’t know making this one would bring me to tears.
Transcript:
I met my younger self for coffee…
I watched as she hesitated, unsure if she should ask me for a repeat. I smiled, remembering the years I spent pretending to understand.
You don’t have to fake it, I told her. The right people will make sure you’re included.
She fidgeted with her hearing aids, embarrassed when they whistled.
One day, I promised, you’ll wear your devices with pride. They don’t define you, rather they empower you.
And sometimes you don’t even get scared to NOT wear them.
Will I ever find someone who loves me for me?
I beamed - yes.
He loves every fiber of your being, just the way you are. And together all of your wildest dreams come true.
She whispered, I just want to be normal. I feel broken.
My heart ached.
You are, I told her. Light years beyond that—you are strong, capable and more than enough.
I reached for her hand. One day, you’ll help others feel the same. 💕
