Things I will tell my daughter (Part 1)

i. Don’t rush finding your other half. You don’t find him. Wait patiently and he shall come in the right time. You’re still young.

ii. You have stardust in your veins, you are a living, breathing, walking extraction of the universe. There are galaxies inside your mind, moons in your eyes and the ocean in your heart.

iii. You will experience pain no matter what path you choose. There will be times that you will be down, but remember that even though you fall, you will soon rise again. Do not disregard yourself, beautiful warrior.

iv. One day you will find yourself. For now, you are allowed to be lost, you are allowed to be confused and you are allowed to be scared. We all are, baby. The Earth we live is full of lost souls who keeps on finding themselves.

v. When you laugh your nose crinkles up so perfectly that your freckles dance like little dandelions in the wind. Know that you are special.

vi. When he is about to kiss you, don’t close your eyes. Wait until his sunshine lips touch yours. Then, and only then, close your eyes. Feel every breathe he takes and don’t bother about the people around you. It’s your moment. Seize it.

vii. If you are still awake at 3am thinking about nothing, get the Bourbon in the bottom part of the kitchen cabinet and let yourself drown with alcohol. Maybe then, you can sleep the pain away.

viii. Darling, love every inch of your body. Your body didn’t harmed you, maybe there are times that it did but it was just a reminder to take care of yourself. Okay? You are made perfect so don’t ruin it.

ix. You can’t complain about burnt hands when your hands are on the stove. Be smart in making decisions. Don’t be impulsive.

x. You are enough.
