We’re less than a month away. My how times flies.
I think now is the time to tell you some of my wishes for you. Be prepared - this list will never end.
1. Accept and love yourself, just as you are.
2. Be the very best version of yourself that you can possibly be.
3. Explore your passions and remain curious always.
4. Ask questions when you don’t know the answers.
5. Respect yourself - your mind, your body, your future.
6. Express yourself.
7. I want you to free yourself from societal expectations and set your own. Aim high, dream big.
8. Make time for your family. Value each member for who they are.
9. Take mental notes of mistakes to avoid making them again in the future.
10. Create.
11. Be ambitious – you have no idea just how powerful or capable you are until you push your own limits. Never settle for second best.
12. Surround yourself with friends who respect you and make you smile. Avoid those who give you heartache.
13. STUDY! STUDY! STUDY!
14. Laugh a lot.
15. Spend time with yourself, continuing to get to know yourself as you change with every passing year.
16. Listen to your gut – it knows all.
17. Stay active and eat healthily. You have one body to treat well and keep healthy.
18. Only date men that are as respectful and nice to you as your father is.
19. Read.
20. Keep in touch with our east coast family.
21. Hug your mom every day. (Sorry, I had to throw that in.)
22. Live the life you are meant to – never settling for being anyone other than who YOU are.
23. Celebrate every success and learn from each failure.
24. Go to sleep every night knowing without a doubt that your family loves you and is here for you in every way possible!
More to come,
Mom
