you know that feeling when you’re out in nature at 5 or 6am and everything’s still quiet and the air still smells like night time and it’s fresh so you shiver a bit but then slowly the first rays of sun peak over the edge of the earth and everything is bathed in foggy, golden light and you just stand there watching the earth awaken.. if that’s not soothing idk what is
“Dear future daughter,
Here is a list of things I wish I had known when I was younger.
1. Speak up. If you aren’t comfortable with something, say so.
2. Voice your opinion, but be polite about it. Freedom of speech does not mean you get to hurt people with your words.
3. Take chances. It’s better to do something wrong and say ‘oh well’, then not do it at all and say ‘what if’.
4. Don’t limit yourself to one group of friends. Try to be friends with as many people as possible, your life will be more interesting.
5. If you like someone, tell them. It may be scary, but sometimes it pays off. And if they don’t want to be friends anymore because you like them, they didn’t deserve you anyway.
6. Don’t spend your childhood wanting to grow up. Cherish being young, because you won’t be able to go back.
7. Take care of yourself. Eat healthy and exercise, drink lots of water, and brush your teeth each night.
8. But don’t always worry about eating healthy. You can eat that brownie if you want, just don’t eat them all the time.
9. You are beautiful.
10. Don’t focus on being pretty on the outside, focus on being pretty on the inside. Always be kind to others.
11. You are loved. Sometimes it may feel like nobody loves you, but I do, and I always will. Many other people care about you too, I’m sure of it.”
