You will forever be loved.

A Letter To My Future Daughter
Rebecca Luisi

Hey Baby,

I’ve never met you before, but I know that you will be everything I could ever hope for.

Right now you are just a thought in my head, a concept I'm unable to grasp onto but I'm waiting for your father, for the right man and the right time in my life but already there is so much I want you to be aware of so many things I cannot wait to teach you, the first thing being that you can do anything you put your mind to. You were made to breath fire, not to cower from your fears.

I hope the world you are brought into is a world free from fear, free from the thought that being feminine is equated to being weak, because you are far from weak. You can move mountains, you can play any sport you want to play you can run and hit and do everything like a girl because guess what my love? That is not a bad thing that does not mean you hit poorly or you run slow because you are a power house.

I do not want you to be afraid to walk home alone, I just urge you to be cautious. I would love to not have to instill in you these from when you are a child but I am not blind to the type of people that live in our world so I will teach you to be strong and brave and cautious. I wish that you could walk down the street and never be scared but I know it will happen but you are stronger than any man, I will not leave you oblivious to the dangers of the world or let you be susceptible to the dangers that does not mean you are not strong it means you are aware. I also want you to know you are and always will be wanted not matter who you turn out to be you will always be welcome and loved.

I want you to know that you are so beautiful and I need you to know that I mean that even though I am your mother, because you are truly beautiful on the inside and out. You are smart and you are kind and you are gorgeous. Remember that everyone has a story and you never know where they came from so never judge others before you get to know them, be kind to everyone show everyone that they are beautiful in their own way. If you ever see someone alone ask if they would like some company, if you ever see someone sad let them know they are loved.

Most importantly be everything I know you can be and know above all that you are not limited by your gender in any way shape or form be whoever you want to be without fear of what others may think, be independent and happy in your own self and be fearless and strong and brave and always know that no matter what I will always be here to listen.

So much Love,

Your momma

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
