Today, Mommy fixed my little bow, smoothed my dress, and looked at me like I’m the most precious thing in the world. Then she whispered something that made my whole heart feel warm: “You’re a princess.”

And you know what? I believed her.

Not because of my dress. Not because of the lace or the pretty colors. But because in her eyes, I’m loved. I’m safe. I’m enough—exactly as I am.

Sometimes the world forgets how powerful words can be. One sentence can lift a little soul. One sentence can heal a tired heart. One sentence can remind someone that they are seen.

If you’re reading this, let me share my Mommy’s message with you too: you are worthy of love. You are beautiful in your own way. And you don’t need to be perfect to be precious.

If you can, leave a kind word for every child who just wants to be treated with gentleness. And for every mom who’s raising a little miracle with so much love.

Because a “princess” is not a crown… it’s being loved.
