A Letter to You…Just As You Are | Letter for January New Years Resolutions

“I like you very much…Just As You Are…”

There’s a reason that line resonated with so many of us, when we first watched Bridget Jones’ Diary; it’s romantic, because it quashes the idea that we all have that there is something wrong with us.

January is the absolute worst time to be made to feel like that; as we’re still in the depths of chocolate and alcohol, we’re already having the concept of “New Year, New You” rammed down our throats, with lists of goals, endlessly reminding us that should be changing, improving, or shrinking ourselves to fit someone else’s idea of perfection. It’s exhausting.

This letter – our Letter of the Month for January – is your gentle pause.

It is a quiet reminder from your best friend Poppy that you don’t need to reinvent yourself, chase impossible targets, or trade in your body, mind or personality to be considered worthy. You are already enough – your quirks, softness, rough edges included.

Perfect for anyone looking for reassurance, encouragement, or just a moment of kindness. Tuck it into your pocket, leave it on your desk, or pass it on to someone you love who might need to hear that they are enough, exactly as they are.

With words that soothe, a touch of warmth, and just a hint of cheek, Poppy’s letter is a gentle hug reminding you that real change takes time, and is definitely not to be done on someone else’s time frame.
