An Open Letter To My Future Daughter
crafthubs.com

To my future mini-me,

I really hope you become real so you can read this. I hope the world is a different place than what it is now. I hope technology doesn't take over, cars stay close to the ground and boys become nicer.

Having a daughter is going to be a lot harder than having boys. Your grandma and grandpa had your two uncles and then me. So trust me when I say this - I know I will have trouble raising you.

Well, it's not like it's going to be hard, but your father and I will definitely have to protect you a lot more. Girls tend to be more hardheaded and emotional than boys.

I always think about what it would be like to have a daughter. What I would name you, if you would like the same things as me, will you have two older brothers like me growing up and will you be your father's little princess?

I already have the perfect name picked out. So what if it's only 2016 and I am only 20 years old? I can still plan this stuff out. I mean, everyone plans out their first child. The nursery, the name, how they will raise their child. It’s all on Pinterest!

Right now I am a junior in college and bowl for Missouri Baptist University. I still haven't met your father, but hopefully, I will soon. I still live with your grandparents, which has its ups and downs.

I don't understand completely why they keep me here, but I when I have you I know I will have the same feeling as them.

There are so many things that I want you to know and I hope to teach you.

I want you to know that you are loved. I love you with all my heart and will love you until the day I die. I know it seems weird because I haven't met you yet, but it's true. You will know how much you are loved.

You are capable of being whatever you want as long as you put your all into it. If you want to be a doctor, lawyer, teacher, whatever you want to be I will support you no matter what.

You don't need a man in order to know what love is. Many people will tell you differently. But the truth is, you need to love yourself because a man will admire your self-confidence. It's more important to know that you are who you are no matter what size you are, how you grew up or what others think about you. You are your own judge and you need to make sure you love to be you.

I'm sure you're rolling your eyes at this point, because that's at least something I would do at your age. I am also sure I have told you all of this and more. But just remember that you are loved and you do matter. Some girls forget that. I hope you become a reality for me, because I want to know what it feels like to have my own little girl. I love you so much!

Love,

Your mother

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.
