Dear Daughter,
As a mother, I feel like a part of my job is to be strong
and secure in who I am. But guess what – I am not. I have so many insecurities
and so many doubts and I am weak so so weak. I have learned that more women
then you think feel the same way that I do. But they hide behind things so that
others will not see those insecurities. Those things could be cloths, makeup,
or a good hair cut or it could be a big personality or even anger or it could
just be an attitude of knowing it all. But so many women are feeling the same
insecurities that I feel. When I realized that - I started looking at women
differently. I still fight my insecurities don’t get me wrong – but knowing
that little nugget of knowledge helps me get through the day a little easier.
I wanted you my sweet daughter to know this so I want to
start writing some stuff down for you so that later when you are older you will
know that you aren’t alone in this adventure of womanhood. My hope is to share
things about myself, our relationship and just things that I am learning so
that you can have little nuggets of love and advice to read over as you grow
into a young girl, a woman and hopefully into a mother someday yourself. I hope
this can be a truly raw and open letter just about life and relationships and
the romance and adventure of it all. I want you to know that your mother is
human and struggles everyday with this thing we call life. You are such a
special person – I hope I can give you something special to hold onto forever.
Love Always,
Mom
