Dear Future Daughter

I'll be there for you

Dear Future Daughter
dsgnmom

To my future daughter,

You will never go a day without my love. I will be there for you through every journey. Every tear. Every smile. Every day. My life will solely revolve around making yours the best it can be. I will be your biggest supporter, your loudest cheerleader, your go-to gal.

Be exactly who you want to be. Love yourself. Do not think for one second that you need to disguise yourself as someone you aren't. Be true. You were born to be unique. Don't ever let somebody influence your dreams, your aspirations, your values. Express yourself however you please.

You are smart. You will find yourself in miserable situations. You will cry and you will feel stupid. Meltdowns are necessary and completely human. God will only put challenges in your life that he knows you can handle. Whatever you face, you will get through it one way or another. You will feel intense feelings of accomplishment. You will feel intense feelings of defeat. And that's okay.

Don't let somebody make you feel like you aren't good enough. When you tell me you're in love, I'll believe you. When you tell me that you got your heart broken, I will be there for you. Remember that if something is meant to be, it'll be. Sometimes your life has to fall apart for the right things to fall together. You will meet many people and you will take chances. But one day the right one will come along and you'll realize why everything else didn't work out.

Never give up, especially on yourself. When times get tough, get tougher. Face your demons. Take what you get and handle it the best you can. Use your family and your friends for support, that's what they are there for. Don't lose faith. If it's important to you, accomplish it.

You're never alone. Never hesitate to lean on me. I'm yours.

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.
