The Lord’s Butterfly 🦋

The Lord’s Butterfly.🦋

Hi guys! After a stressful day at school today, I finally get to do something I love, write about someone who’s so dear to me.

It’s Mentor Grace’s birthday! After counting down and trying (and failing woefully) to get her a gift, I decided it wouldn’t be bad to write about her, because honestly, she deserves to be written about every day.

You know how you read people’s birthday captions and they say they wish they had met someone earlier? That’s exactly how I feel.
I wish I did.

We relate in so many ways — she just gets me. I’d always known Mentor Grace from afar (probably stalked her Instagram a few times 😅). Then one day, I finally got to meet her and she was so welcoming. She even offered to take my picture!

I told her, “I love what you do,” and she asked if I really knew what that was. Of course I did! I’d been on her page more than once (that’s my work, stalking people I admire ). She encouraged me to join CelebTeens.

See full gist here.

I won't stop talking about this for a while...

She always compliments me,my style, my hair (which I always had a love-hate relationship with). In my head, I’d be like, thank you for not giving me basic compliments. Thank you for making me feel seen, even if I never said it out loud.

But the day we really clicked was the day I ranted to her about my roommate (we can only hope my roommate never sees this ). I was in awe of how she listened, how she acknowledged every single feeling and broke down each emotion so gently. That was the first time I’d ever experienced something like that.

It’s hard to explain, but it felt like she touched a version of me, the secondary school me.
Tell me why I started liking being girly again just because I saw how effortlessly she expressed hers.

You know how someone makes you try new things without forcing you? That’s her superpower.
“Oh, I think you should try journaling.”
“Oh, you should get a prayer partner.”
“Oh, you should come to CelebTeens.”
I don’t know how she does it, but I’m now enjoying all of them.

Thank you, Mentor Grace, for being you.
You are so, so beautiful inside and out.
I love you. Happy birthday! 💐

Please appreciate her in the comments, guys.

Ofcourse I have to give a picture lol.
