Dear Teen,

I know the world you live in isn’t easy. You didn’t create the world you live in; we did.  We know it’s hard. We know it can often seem like a struggle between what’s real and what’s imagined.

Please know, I don’t I want to shelter you from the magic of the digital word. But what I want for you, is for you to truly experience the beauty of the real world.

So, these are my hopes for you. To help you. To help you live in the world we created.

I hope you look up from your screen and see the beauty in the world around you, beyond the confines of a filtered feed.

I hope you explore the world with your own eyes, not other people’s pictures. Finding joy in nature, adventure, and the simple moments of everyday life.

I hope you embrace moments that can’t be captured by a filter, knowing that the best memories are those lived fully and authentically.

I hope you value genuine connections made face-to-face and understand that true relationships are built on shared experiences, not just online interactions.

I hope you discover your own path without feeling the need to compare yourself to others, trusting that your journey is unique and meaningful.

I hope you stop and take a breath when you see a mountain you climb, feel the warmth of the sun on your face, and the richness of real experiences that fill your soul, not just your feed.

I hope you realise your worth comes from within, from your character, your kindness, and your actions, not from likes, followers, or online validation.

I hope you know that life is hard. Hard things will happen. To everyone. At some stage. And you will need people in the real world around you to hold you tight and help you take that next step.

I hope you can take a step back and disconnect from the digital world often enough—not because I want to shelter you, but because I want you to truly experience the beauty of the real world.

That is in front you of. Every day.

Love Mum
