*Sigh*

When I was younger, I was actually very quiet and very introverted.

Oh my gosh, I was... I was painfully shy.

I was very insecure, I was very unhappy.

I would like... find the comfort of not having that love in my home.

I would find, like, the comfort in another man, you know.

And that.. I let define me.

I believe defining moments in my life have been the most challenging ones.

The biggest moment is probably losing my mom.

So, it's affected pretty much every aspect of my life that I can think of.

I just remember... fighting.

I just remember fighting to just be.

After my accident, I just wanted to help people.

I just wanted my life to mean something.

My outer beauty had been scarred now and so...

Outer beauty fades. It goes away.

And what's left is what's in your heart.

Everything that I've gone through has brought me to this point.

It made me the woman that I am today.

(If you could tell your younger self anything, what would that be?)

Hmm... wow.

Um...

Okay.

Hi Raechel, this is future Raechel.

Beautiful Jasmine, beautiful little Jasmine.

Little darling Kelly.

Miki...

You are perfect.

A lot of people know, but they don't think about it but you, like most people on this planet, you won't have your mom forever.

So love her with everything you've got.

Love her with every single hug, every single kiss, every single goodnight.

You are exactly where you need to be.

You have a purpose that is unique and solely for you.

You are so crazy, and so wild, and so beautiful, and I'm so proud of you.

And there's gonna be so many hard things that come your way, but you're gonna make it out okay, and you're gonna be fine.

And you're going to flourish.

You are a unique, beautiful individual, crazy little wild thing.

Even though you are in a world that's trying to make you someone that you're not, but just be as true to yourself as you can because who you are is amazing, who you are is beautiful.

And you don't have to settle for the things that you think you do.

You deserve so much more than what you've given yourself.

And know that you are enough, all the time...all the time.

In all ways.

Yeah.
