… with encouraging messages…

To the little “girl” who hated and never understood why he was always being dressed up as such. It DID get better and you found that happiness you never thought you would. You were ALWAYS Emmett, it just took a while for you to get seen as him.#InnerChildChallenge #bts pic.twitter.com/gk7ka4GqX4

My Inner Child:
5 years ago you had to choose between passion & career, medschool or art. Doing so resulted in times of turmoil, drastic tolls on health & a lost will to live. Fast forward to today, you must be so proud of me, we finally made it, didn’t we? #InnerChildChallenge pic.twitter.com/oMajmv5no2
