dearest daughter,

baby

that boy does not validate your existence.

love the world 

unconditionally.

eat as much chocolate as you want.

confidence is key.

seek to find the beauty in all things.

you will probably be tall,

 but always wear those heels.

learn to apply lipstick. 

and wear the crap out of red lipstick.

tell me everything.

i am very good at keeping secrets.

know your worth.

always walk with your head held high.

drink lots of water,

its good for everything.

the sun is your friend.

but never forget to wear sunscreen.

it is okay to cry.

break bottles when you're mad,

trust me it helps.

keep yourself healthy, a strong beautiful soul

needs a healthy body.

mean your anger

mean your pain

mean your sadness

all of your feelings are valid

every last one of them.

your education is top priority.

science is very interesting.

people are going to let you down.

but hold everyone to high expectations.

form your own opinions.

voice your opinions.

stick with your guns.

there are many ways into a pool, 

the stairs is not one of them.

never linger in or out of a door way.

always be polite.

first impressions are important.

wash your face,

twice a day.

i cant paint fingernails.

argue when you need too.

when stating your point, 

short but sweet is best.

don't take anyones shit.

there is a very fine line between,

sultry and slutty.

i am always listening, always.

you are so beautiful.

i will always hold your hand when i need to.

jealousy is ugly.

not everyone will love you.

count your blessings.

being happy helps your soul.

nostalgia is a dirty liar.

do not dumb it down.

its never too late for an apology. 

please forgive yourself for your mistakes.

invest in good sheets.

punch first, and punch hard.

never forget about the ones who love you back.

life is tough, but you are tougher.

most importantly,

you are who you love.

not who loves you.

and baby, i will love you forever and i will never let you go.
