Hey there, little one!
I’m calling you “little one” because no matter how big you get, you’ll always be that precious bundle I brought home from the hospital. I remember your tiny cries, demanding to be fed, and how I wore you close to my heart, much to your dad’s amusement. Even when you looked like a little potato—adorably misshapen—you were still the cutest potato ever.
The Unshakeable Bond
Why do I bring this up? Because I’m your mom, and that bond is unshakeable. Always remember this: I went through two days of labor, pushed you out, and endured a lot of pain and chaos to bring you into this world. But every bit of that was worth it the moment I held you. So, when you think about the struggles we all face, treat every woman with the respect she deserves; she’s likely fought her own battles too. You don’t owe me anything, but you owe kindness to the universe.
Focus on What Matters
Now, let’s get real—I may throw in a few colorful words now and then, but don’t follow in my footsteps when it comes to mistakes. I spent too much time in college chasing fleeting romances and partying, and trust me, that gets old quick. Focus on what really matters—your education. You’re investing in your future, so don’t waste that precious money!
Embrace Life
Break a few rules now and then, though. Sneak a road cone or sip some cheap beers with friends around a bonfire. Make friends from all walks of life; invite them over for epic costume parties with bubble machines and good vibes. Get to know people from different cultures, try their food, and most importantly, listen to their stories. Dive into the world around you while you’re young, so that when you’re older, you won’t be grappling with difficult issues.
Stand Up for Others
Develop your own beliefs based on what you see and hear. Stand up for the marginalized and lend a hand to those in need. And yes, always give a little change to panhandlers; it’s not your place to judge what they do with it. I fell in love with some incredible people who showed compassion like this, and I want you to do the same.
Respect Everyone
Make sure to acknowledge everyone around you, from the janitor to the waitress. Know their names and treat them with the respect they deserve. Tip generously; they work hard behind the scenes. Remember, when you drop trash or leave things out of place, someone has to clean up after you, so do your best to minimize that.
Pets and Responsibility
As for pets, wait until you’re ready to care for one. When the time comes, train your dog well; it’ll be good practice for when you bring home your own little potato someday. And just like your first baby, that pup will need lots of love and attention.
Spread Kindness
Above all, be kind. We all come into this world through struggles and love, and it’s essential to spread that kindness around.
