Finally, it is a reminder for Clare and the anonymous person she’s writing to, but the viewers as well, starting a streak of inspirational messages littered through Tiny Beautiful Things. This story directly references the title Tiny Beautiful Things, but it also reminds Clare that she does deserve such things, which is why she goes through with writing “Dear Sugar.” It is also one of the show's core messages, which is that everyone has a right to “tiny beautiful things,” whether they believe it or not. Clare tells the story of when she was struggling with addiction and on the bus when a girl offered her a balloon, but she didn’t take it because she thought she “no longer had a right to such tiny beautiful things,” but that she was wrong, and she did. However, in her first “Dear Sugar” reply, she is tasked with writing to her 22-year-old self. Clare was initially hesitant about taking on the “Sugar” mantle in Tiny Beautiful Things due to the state of her own life and her belief that she shouldn’t be giving anyone advice.
