Regrets
Memories
Advice to our future goddesses:
Fall in love. You won't always win but sometimes losing is just as important. In doing so you'll have a chance to see how strong you are, you will learn to grieve, to pull yourself out of the wreckage by remembering just what it is that makes you a strong and independent. Learn to appreciate the experience and the person, despite the good or the bad. Learn to forgive and to heal. Move on, remember the experience and put what you have learned to good use in the future. Each experience is a gift from God building onto our lives in a way that will leave us ready and prepared so that one day when you find that true love you will recognize it, appreciate it, be strong in it, and retain the person that YOU have become while walking the rest of your journey with another and realizing the joint difference between the two.
Stand up for your self, don't let anyone ever make you waver in what you know is right. Don't allow anyone to treat you other than they should. But remember in standing up for yourself and standing strong in who you are, it never hurts to be open. Don't limit yourself to toleration of the differences that exist in this world but move past that into acceptance then you'll truly be able to see yourself
Take chances
Open up to new things
Ask questions
Watch the sunrise, play in the snow, have sleepovers.
Make mix cds and label them. On those nights when you're feeling like Fall {insert year here} there will be nothing more viceral than the music that was playing when it all happened...nothing.
Find that one special place that is just yours. You will cry there, scream there, smile there, and share it with only those people who have earned that right. And everytime you return you will remember each memory and each moment that was carried to, maintained, or let go at that very spot.
Be safe. Trust in that little voice in your head it exists for a reason. Don't be afraid to question others and yourself when needed. Stay aware of your boundaries whether personal, physical, or emotional and never allow anyone to push beyond them.
Savor every single instance. You cannot possibly imagine how quickly it will come and go, you will change in ways that you never imagined and will never, ever have the ability to do this over. You may go to grad school, you may come back and visit but there will never be another time in your life like this is now at this very moment, at this very age, exactly how you are. Take pictures, keep a journal, scrapbook, you will treasure those moments, you will forget a few but no matter what use it until you use it up.
