-Learn to love yourself before putting your love into another. Arden
-High school is overwhelming. Don’t fall behind on your assignments. Arden
-Find your passion. That’s when you’ll discover it doesn’t matter what people think. Maya S.
-Loving yourself is the most important thing a girl can do. You can’t just say it, you have to mean it. I want you to be comfortable and confident in yourself, and most importantly I want you to grow up to be a kind, strong and brilliant person just like your sisters. Know that it’s okay to be different. Never let anybody make you feel less about yourself. Don’t be afraid to say no. Having a boy doesn’t determine how beautiful you are, and a boy that only wants you for your body, isn’t good enough for you. Remember that you are loved unconditionally. These are just a few of the things I wish I knew when I was 14.
I love you,
B
