You the dreamer
who imagines a life so much greater
who speaks of things others don’t understand
remember restrictions exist only in our minds
you can let your imagination run wild.
You the young one
with so much possibility
with so much uncertainty
remember that there is no urgency
you can take life one step at a time.
You the old one
who wonders if life escaped you
who thinks of all the things you wanted but didn’t do
remember that you are still living
you can look forward and pursue new dreams.
You the different one
who is labeled as weird
who struggles to find others who think the same way
remember that there is no normal
you can let your freak flag fly.
You the insecure one
who worries what everyone thinks of you
who worries about who is going to want you
remember that you are effortlessly perfect
you just have to love yourself enough to know it.
You the lonely one
who feels like something is missing
who wishes for someone beside you
remember that you have everything you need inside
you don’t have to be afraid of the quiet.
You the independent one
who feels strong and capable in being
who craves alone time and fears needing
remember that it’s ok to trust and let people in
you can be free and vulnerable at the same time.
You the restless one
who never stops moving
who wonders if life goes on if you stop thinking
remember that you are more than your mind
you can relax the moment that you decide.
You the tired one
who wonders if you can keep going
who lacks the motivation for doing
remember what lights your inner fire
you can find the energy when you let it ignite.
You the scared one
who sees the risk in most things
who protects yourself preventatively
remember that fear is an illusion
you can trust that you will survive.
You the brave one
who finds the courage to do things differently
who opens yourself to possibility
remember to trust your instincts
you can leave your ego behind.
You the sensitive one
who sees into souls without understanding
who feels so deeply it’s overwhelming
remember that feeling means being alive
you can see beauty even when you cry.
You the numb one
who never wanted to feel pain again
who closed yourself off to all sensation
remember that to heal you must know the hurt
you are strong enough and I promise it’s worth it.
You the traveled one
who has seen far pockets of the world
who wonders if you will ever find your home
remember that home is where your heart is
you can find it wherever you go.
You the trapped one
who feels shackled with responsibility
who wants to wander freely
remember that the greatest journey is inside
you can still change your life.
You the free one
who lives without walls
who finds peace no matter where you are
remember this moment and hold it close
you can come back here whenever you’re lost.
You the happy one
who finds gratitude in every moment
who feels joy just for being alive
remember that it’s ok to be blissful when others are down
you can lift them up with your light.
You the lost one
who wonders where to go today
who wonders how you got to this place
remember the compass that lives in your heart
you already know the way.
This made me cry a little bit, in a good way!

I am trying to find a word that hasnt been overly used yet like “amazing” or “wonderful” to describe this post.
I think it is very precious. I saw myself and so many of my loved ones in it that I took the liberty to share the link on my facebook page.
Thank you <3

Love you Nenie xoxoxo <3
I absolutely love this post! I stumbled upon your blog after reading your article on elephant journal. I feel like there’s a little bit of my in so many of these. I needed this!
Aw thanks Krista <3
This is absolutely beautiful and may well become my mantra. I appreciate all the beauty of your soul. Any chance you could make it into a poster?
From one of the “old ones”.
Thank you so so much dear!! I appreciate all of the beauty of your soul <3 A poster is not a bad idea, or something to stick on the fridge at least.
I have typed up “Everything I Ever Wanted To Tell You” in two columns on letter size paper and have it in a frame at my desk, where I spend so much time on my computer. When I look up, there’s always at least one verse that catches my eye and helps keep me on track. 😉
That’s so awesome!! I’m so happy to hear that it helps you. We’re all here to remind each other, right? xo
I love this post, Camille! I am everyone of these to a certain extent, and I appreciate your wise words and positive reassurance.
Aw you’re welcome Ashley. We are all all of these at some point in our lives <3
Thank you for sharing this poem, Camille. I have book marked it and shared it with friends 🙂
