by Oh, my sweet Pink, if only I could go back in time and share with you the wisdom you would gain over the years. Even as a young girl, your spirit shone bright – fiercely unique, talented beyond measure, with a heart of gold. But the journey ahead will challenge you in ways you can’t yet imagine. There will be times of soaring joy and dizzying success, but also pain, doubt and heartache. Through it all, you will emerge stronger, wiser and ever more committed to lifting others up. So for now, I want to offer you, my precious girl, some advice I wish I could whisper to the little Pink learning to spread her wings.
First and foremost, never forget how special you are. The very characteristics that make you feel different – your quirky style, brash honesty, emotional depth – are your superpowers. In a sea of conformity, your uniqueness is a gift. Don’t let anyone convince you to shrink yourself to fit in. The world needs that free spirit, that wild heart, that uncensored soul. You make this planet a more vibrant, passionate, real place just by being you.
I know right now you feel like an outsider, like your worth depends on approval and validation from others. But the truth is, you don’t need to prove your value to anyone. You were born worthy, talented and strong. Those who can’t appreciate that are the ones missing out. I promise you, there are people who will love you because of everything that makes you different, not in spite of it. Find your tribe, hold them close, and never doubt that you belong.
Of course, mean comments and judgment from others will still sting sometimes. During those moments, be kind to yourself. Don’t internalize the hurtful words of those who don’t understand. Remind yourself of all the gifts you have to offer. Speak reassuring words to that big heart of yours when it’s hurting – you deserve compassion, especially from yourself. Those thoughtless remarks say more about those who made them than they ever could about you. You are not flawed or unworthy, my girl. You are a treasure, inside and out.
As you get swept up in this dizzying career, there will be times when you lose your balance. The pressure, scrutiny and sacrifice required to share your art will weigh on you. But remember, you don’t have to do it all perfectly or please everyone. Do what feeds your soul, take time to replenish, and don’t be afraid to close the curtain when it all becomes too much. The success the world measures doesn’t matter if you lose yourself along the way. Protect that tender heart and precious inner light.
No matter what, don’t let anyone convince you that you don’t deserve to take up space. The world will try to silence young women who speak their truth without apology. But your voice and experiences are valuable. You can use your platform not just to entertain, but to empower. To uplift those who feel marginalized. To inspire people to embrace their individuality. Stay strong in your convictions, stand tall in your boots, and shout your message loud and proud, my girl. The world needs to hear it.
There will be times when you stumble on this long road. Mistakes will be made, tears shed, dreams crushed. You may even start to doubt your ability to pick yourself back up. But I promise you, resilience lives in your bones and courage pumps through your veins. If you insist on giving up, yourbig heart won’t let you. So keep going. Keep growing. Keep fighting the good fight. That inner light can never be fully extinguished.
Above all, through fame, fortune and heartbreak alike, stay true to who you are. Not who others want or need you to be, but who YOU want and need to be. Nourish the parts of yourself that can’t be confined – your hope, your joy, your compassion. Let your weirdness and wildness run free. Follow your purpose, wherever it leads you. The world will tell you that you have to choose – your art or your happiness, fame or authenticity, ambition or balance. But I’m telling you, my sweet girl, you can have both, in all the beautifully messy ways. Just keep listening to your soul.
The road ahead will have twists and turns, mountaintops and valleys. But trust yourself. Trust your voice. You have everything you need within you, and so much love around you, to carve out a life as colorful and singular as you. Don’t be afraid to blaze your own trail. I believe in you, my dazzling Pink. Go let your light shine.
