My dear daughter,
You're growing up and gaining a lot of wisdom. Here are some things that you need to remember at any time.
Love yourself.
No one is perfect. Sometimes we make mistakes—learn from them and move on. Take responsibility for your part, try not to make the same mistake again and forgive yourself.
Love your body.
You are beautiful. You don't have to be thin or tall to be beautiful. Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. Take care of your body. Exercise, eat healthily, and you will be beautiful.
Believe in yourself.
Do the best you can in school and don't worry so much about what your grades are. You're going to be great at whatever you choose to do. The only thing you have to do is believe in yourself.
Be the best friend you can be.
Some friends will stay with you for a lifetime and many will come and go. This is life. Always be the best friend you can be. And believe you're always a good person.
Love,
Your Mama
