A Letter To My Future Little

I hope you wish to become bigger than you are but that you always remember where you started.

A Letter To My Future Little
Elizabeth Hurdle

Hello,

This is a letter to my future little(s) however many of you there may be. I’m writing this because I have so many things I want to say to you that I might not be able to say later. In the words of Flannery O’Connor "I write because I don't know what I think until I read what I say.” These are all the things I really want you to know, but unfortunately, I’ll probably forget to say when they’re most important. This is for you.

It’s nice to meet you. Actually, I hope we’ve already met before this, but if not, it’s really nice to meet you. How are you? I hope you’re doing well. I’m excited to be your big. I’m excited to get to know you. I’m excited to show you through our sisterhood. I’m excited to share something so important to me with you.

I hope that you’re nice but more importantly, I hope that you are kind. I hope you have a loving heart and feel everything to the fullest extent. I hope you care about more than just yourself and share a genuine connection with the people around you. I hope you wish to become bigger than you are but that you always remember where you started. I hope you long to reach for the stars but to also be careful not to fall. I hope you are passionate about something even if it’s not something I’m passionate about. I really hope you care about school and learning because those things are important. I hope you have good taste in movies, but if you don’t, I can help change that (books too). I hope that you’re as proud to be my little as much as I am to be your big.

I want so many things for you. I want your life to be filled with nothing but joy. I want you to wake up every morning remembering that you’re loved and that it’s going to be okay. I want you to feel at home here and never feel like you’re alone. I want you to be able to come to me with anything. I want you to trust me, but more importantly, trust yourself. I want you to reach for your dreams but not feel the need to crush others on your way to the top. I hope you get everything you want out of life and more.

I’m writing this because I want you to know how much you being my little means to me. I want you to know how much I care because I care a heck of a lot. I want you to know that I’ll always be there when you need me. I’ll be a shoulder to cry on when you’re sad and the person to pick you up when you fall. I’ll be there in your happiness moments and in your saddest. I’ll do whatever I can to support you and to lift you up. I promise to be the best that I can, and I hope you’ll give that same promise to me. I just want you to remember to never feel like you can’t reach out to me. I’m always here, and I can’t wait to be your big.

Until we officially meet little one(s),

Your future big.

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.
