To all of the important girls (and boys too) in my life. I don't have pictures of everyone here, but you all are important. Dove Beauty products has a 'Beauty within' campaign running right now and posed the question: "What would you like every 13 year old girl to know?". Here's what I would like to tell every girl. This applies to any girl 13, 23, 33, 43 etc... (and the boys too!)
This is what I have learned in life ~~ so far.
Remember no matter what anyone or any group of people say, you matter, what you think matters, that you are beautiful and special, and you can accomplish anything!
Parents aren't perfect. Sometimes we guide you in the wrong direction out of our own fears and wants. Listen to what we have to say, but in the end, remember you are your own boss, and make your own decisions.
We freak out sometimes because we don't want you to make the same mistakes, or walk down the long, windy, wrong way paths we may have walked down before finding our way.
Remember to be patient with us, most of us worry out of love.
Be true to yourself! Don't do something stupid because you see others doing it, or saying they have done it ~~ they probably haven't.
Listen to your inner voice, it's usually right. Most importantly, remember that you are loved and worth loving!
You are loved and cared for by people who may not ever know you. After all, we are all ONE!
Always be yourself, after all that's what makes 'you', you!! Be yourself!!
