Dear Sweet Girl

Hey there, my sweet girl,

One day, you might stumble across this little note while Googling yourself or me. I could have scrawled this on a piece of paper and tucked it away with your brother’s lost teeth and that tiny shard of glass we extracted from your other brother (don’t ask). But let’s be real – it would probably gather dust and be forgotten.

I know I’m not the typical mom who fills scrapbooks or journals, and I hope that when you read this, you don’t think, “Yikes, my mom is so cringey.” Seriously, skip the half-naked selfies online – just don’t. Here are some things I want you to keep in mind:

Be a lady, but don’t be afraid to be unladylike when necessary. If you’re going to have a meltdown, make it worthwhile! Afterward, fix your hair and put on some lipstick – life goes on.
You are beautiful. Appreciate what you have, but remember that your actions and words define you even more. Look good enough to feel confident, but spend the rest of your energy being a person others want to be around.
Stay true to yourself. I want you to be comfortable in your own skin and never feel the need to hide who you are. That person is awesome!
Choose your friends wisely. Some women might try to bring you down. Surround yourself with those who uplift and support you, who laugh till they cry with you and are there for the tough times. A solid friend group will help you deal with the haters.
Haters are inevitable. At some point, you’ll stop caring what they think, but until then, it can sting.
You owe no one anything. If someone crosses a line, don’t just let it happen. Speak up and stand your ground.
You’ll be underestimated. Learn to enjoy surprising people with your intelligence. Being pretty is nice, but no one else can be YOU.
Dating will be tricky. Your dad and brothers will make it hard for any boy to win your heart. But if a guy earns their respect, he might just be worth your time.
Dating doesn’t mean marriage. If you like a boy, go for it! There’s no rush to tie the knot, even if he asks.
You come from strong women. Honor that legacy by staying true to yourself, no matter the challenges you face.
Wait until you’re ready for sex. And don’t have kids until you’re with the right partner. Prioritize your education and career first – this is super important!
Try new things. Even if you’re not great at something initially, keep at it. Eventually, you’ll discover what you love and excel in.
If you’re unhappy, change it. You have the power to make your own path.
And please, get a proper bra fitting. You’ll be amazed at how much a good fit can change your confidence.

Remember, you’ve got this! And when you’re ready to explore more about home insemination or related topics, check out Intracervical Insemination for more insights. Also, Make a Mom can provide useful info on fertility. For pregnancy and insemination, Hopkins Medicine is an excellent resource.

In summary, be yourself, cherish your friendships, and prioritize your goals. Life’s a journey, so embrace it with confidence and integrity.
