As a child, I often heard my mother say, “If only I knew then what I know now.” Those words lingered in my mind, leaving me curious about their meaning. With each year that passes, my understanding deepens, especially now that I have you to guide. Watching you navigate life’s ups and downs evokes a mix of excitement and apprehension. I have no doubt you will blossom into an extraordinary woman, but I also understand that your journey will have its share of challenges. You’ll encounter obstacles that may feel overwhelming, and inevitably, you’ll learn some lessons the hard way, driven by your inherent independence and determination. You will make wise choices, as well as a few missteps along the way.
While it’s crucial for you to carve your own path, I’d like to share some wisdom from a mother who has walked this road before:
- Invest in the outfit that makes you feel confident.
- Always express your feelings—if you love someone, let them know.
- Choose your words carefully; they hold immense power.
- Experience living alone at least once.
- It’s never too late to make amends.
- Making mistakes is okay; making excuses is not.
- If you know the answer, don’t hesitate to raise your hand.
- Demand what you deserve—never accept less.
- Believe in karma; kindness matters.
- Stand firm against injustice.
- Never apologize for being who you are; you are perfect.
- Support those who are overlooked.
- Avoid grocery shopping on an empty stomach.
- Always use sunscreen.
- Trust your instincts, even if they conflict with logic.
- Recognize the difference between a disagreement and a quarrel.
- Savor the cake, don’t hold back.
- Keep an extra hair tie handy.
- Stand up for yourself. Remember, we teach others how to treat us.
- Be passionate, yet remain humble.
- Every significant journey begins with a single step; dare to take that step.
- A closed mind limits possibilities.
- Never doubt your abilities; they are boundless.
- Friday nights are meant for takeout, and sometimes Tuesdays are too.
- Seek help when you need it. Independence doesn’t mean you have to do everything alone.
- Prioritize self-love.
Each day, I see you evolving into the person you are meant to be. You’ve faced difficult lessons already, and while it pained me to witness your struggles, I allowed you to navigate them because I love you. Growth comes through challenges, and you are handling it with the grace I always knew you would. Always remember who you are; upon waking each day, know that you are deeply loved and there’s nothing you could do to change that. No matter where life leads you, take pride in the fact that I am honored to be your mother.
