I will teach her that beauty is found on the inside of her being where her heart and soul lie. I will show her that perfection is not something to seek. Rather she should just be the best version of herself she can be. I will hug and kiss her as many times as I can in a day. To let her know what loving someone feels like. I will hold her when she cries over her broken heart and sometimes her broken soul. I will make her laugh so she knows the feeling of utter joy in the form of a sound. I will let her become who she was meant to be and not a mini version of me.
I will teach her that there is no such thing as normal. That all she needs to worry about is being comfortable in her own skin. I will give her music, books, and art to encourage and nourish her mind. I will take and make the time to listen to her thoughts and understand her feelings. I will dance around the house with her and be silly and free. I will teach her that no one’s love can replace or overshadow the love she should have for herself. I will show her that sadness and loneliness are not your enemies. That we all go through pages of them so we can understand and discover ourselves. I will open the door to the world beyond our eyes.
