I want you both to know that it takes a lot of courage to grow up and become who you really are... and you both have done just that. Never allow the world to tell you anything about yourself. Don't allow the world to decide who you should be or what you should do in your life. Always trust your core. Life is full of twists and turns. Ride the twisties full throttle!
Remember, the ups and downs of life's rollercoaster ride may have you screaming in fear sometimes. It is just part of living and breathing every day. Ride it anyway.
I want you to know that you are beautiful human beings for who you are on the inside and out... just as you are in this very moment. Don't ever allow the world to convince you that you have to change in any way. Never compromise your core for anyone or anything.
I am so very proud to be your mother. My world is rich because of you. Please, always be *you*. Always choose what is best for *you*. Never pretend to be something you are not. It takes courage to live your life out loud. Live it anyway. It takes courage to not care about what other think of you. Don't care anyway. It takes courage to be true to your hopes and dreams. Be true to them anyway.
It takes courage to stand up for what you believe. Stand up anyway because anything else will suffocate you. Remember this one rule in life: If you feel you can't breathe, leave.
Live your life flying, not dying. Love your life every waking moment you are fortunate enough to experience it. This life is the only one you'll ever have and you deserve all the good things that this world has to offer.
Love yourself most of all. It is when we love ourselves that we can then look outward, and love the rest of the world with open hearts. When your heart is overflowing with love, you will see the world and the people in it differently. You can feel their pain and heartache and understand why they act the way they do. You won't have to react to them. You will simply be able to love them. Understanding brings about great love for others, no matter how they treat you. Always, always, always ~ love them anyway.
That is when you are truly free... when you can love unconditionally.
Be *you*. Love *you*. Have the courage to choose *you* first.
I love you more than the love my heart can hold... always and forever,
Mom
“Be who you are and say what you feel
because those who mind don't matter and
those who matter don't mind.”
