Belle has been having it rough this year. She's different, unique, doesn't fit in all the time. She has her intense emotions and sometimes her ways to deal with them makes life even harder for her. Making her stand out and thus be pushed out.
She has friends but confessed she spends a lot of recesses alone. She gets picked on sometimes too. I've told her to just be herself and not to change for anyone. That this will all past and her uniqueness will be a good thing in her life. Sometimes however she will go to the other extreme and do things to push kids away as a way to deal with feeling different. This only makes it even harder for her.
I have been in her shoes. I wish I could make it easier for her. I just hope my talking to her keeps her focused that it will all be ok. I just want her to know that I never want her to feel like she's nothing, never feel like she's less then perfect. I know I tell her that 'normal' and 'perfect' are not real things. That no one is normal and no one is perfect. But that's not exactly true. Normal and perfect are subjective. She is normal and perfect. Her 'weirdness' and her imperfections are perfect. Without them she wouldn't be Belle and that would be horrible.
Belladonna you are perfect to me just the way you are and you should always see yourself that way too. If you start thinking down about yourself look at yourself through my eyes. You are perfect.
