Let’s give it a try! (Albeit with reduced effectiveness, as it’s hard to make a circle with just one person)
Hey! Yeah, you, the person reading this! You’re a beautiful person and I admire your resilience in enduring all that life has to throw at us. The world we live in instrumentalises us at every opportunity, so simply being here at all, as the complex and wonderful human you are is an incredible act of rebellion, which I respect.
I see the shame and guilt you feel over your flaws and mistakes, and I wish that you would be kinder to yourself, but I also recognise that these emotions are good, in moderation, as they’re the beginning of change. That you want to be more than you have been is the mark of a strong character, and you deserve the chance to grow into an even cooler and powerful version of yourself. You’re kinder and wiser and more beautiful than you know.
