D for ... #AtoZChallenge2016


"Dear Daughter ..."

Hey Gorgeous,

I love writing to you. I have written so many mails and letters to you in the past too. Some in my mind and some verbally too. I started loving and thinking about you even before you were born. Even before you were conceived. Even before your existence was thought of. Or even before I started the chapter Reproductive System in school! Somehow one day you were born in my mind, and from then you are special to me. 

I still don’t know why I’m writing to you. Maybe with years and age my perspective of life might change, and I may not be able to share this me with you then. Or maybe I just want to be with you like this. 

Here in this previous letter I have said many things which I wanted to you do and follow. And today I’m telling you just one thing.  

Be yourself. Always!

Nothing else. 

Whatever happens in life, never compromise yourself and your happiness for anything and anyone. There may come a day when you consider the happiness of the people around you more than yours, but just remember it’s just for the time being. It’s you who matters. If you’re miserable you surely can’t make anyone else happy or content. So just be yourself and live your life the way you want. 

Stay happy always. 

For a Beautiful Daughter and an Awesome Woman.

I love you forever.

From,
ME.

  3. Fabulous advice, SSJ. :) To be yourself is very important, I agree. Sometimes, that is forgotten.
