A
Letter to My Future Daughter
My dear future daughter,
I wish I could hold you in my heart and keep you safe
from the cruelty of this world but unfortunately I cannot.
I have recently turned twenty-one, still quite young,
huh? But as I look into the mirror, I see a powerful fearless young girl
willing to face the challenges of the life ahead of her! I do not claim to be
the wisest nor the most experienced girl on Earth but I have observed life and
realized some of its facts. However, they are not all sweet unfortunately.
Dear, life is not a fairy-tale nor the bedtime story I
read to you. Reality can be harsher than you can ever imagine. People are not
angels, they can be deadly serpents. People will hurt you, disappoint you,
abandon you and intoxicate you. They will make you feel worthless and undesirable
and nothing tastes bitterer than feeling worthless! One night they will lift
you up high in the sky, put you to sleep and dream on the softest cloud and the
next day they will leave you to fall to the hard solid ground again without
catching you even though they promised they would. Believe me when I tell you
that not everyone has the same heart as you. You should grow up! Learn to be
mature, strong and independent.
Listen dear, you are beautiful. You are one in a
million. You are an ocean full of secrets and a sky full of dreams and
ambitions that shine too bright in the eyes of your envious enemies! You are
the womb of a coming promising generation. You have got passion in your veins,
rainbows on your mind and charm just slips out of your mouth the moment you
speak. You do not need satin attires or precious jewels to make you shine, you
are like a rare pearl that dazzles whoever looks closely at you.
Do not ever question your worth! Put your insecurities
and doubts aside and just rise up and shine! The world needs you! Do not be
afraid of a little bit of darkness, pleasure is only on the other side.
This post is a reminder for myself before my future daughter
and to every woman who happens to be struggling with herself at the moment.
