A letter to my fast growing daughter Max. She is 2.8 years old.
I trief to keep this letter short but couldn't take any word out of it. So posting i wrote.
Let's start.
You my little girl, have pride in being a girl, a woman. Celebrate yourself, celebrate life. Your gender is never ever gonna stop you, anywhere. (I talked about gender here because you may not see any difference in roles on gender basis at home but outer world gonna show you some other picture, so it's up to you and I am always gonna trust your decisions, No matter what)

Girl doesn't mean all about pink, lavender, tender, sweet, cute or beautiful. In our world we have been taught mostly to talk nice, walk nice, dance nice because you are girl. Fuck it. Choose your way in everything. Whatever suits you and make you comfortable.
Don't be fake ever whether it's people or a situation. Don't hesitate to say, what do you want. Don't be nice where you don't want to be. Don't make people happy just to boost their stupid ego. Let people think about you whatever they want to, it should not harm your peace of mind. Because, always and always, someone gonna dislike you. Just accept it. You can't be nice to the whole world.
Within few years you are gonna part of this beautiful but ruthless world. And you may gonna feel peer pressure of studies, games, drama, and hell lot of things. It's up to you again which one or what is more important to you. As per your priorities feel the pressure accordingly. The more you prioritize, the more peaceful you will be.
Be scared of failure. You are going to be failed one day. You are going to cry, cry and cry whole day and night. You will be doing so much self pity. Trust me so much self pity. Don't worry I will be there. Cry on my shoulder, wet my clothes with your tears. Everything is ok unless, You take a big leap and stand on your foot back. Give a punch on a face of failure and fight back with full energy.
Hello! yes you can cry. It's absolutely fine. It's fine because you are a human being not because you are a girl. Crying does not make you a weaker person in. It helps you to want out all toxins and yes negativity too.
Chase your dreams like anything, no matter how small or big it is. Nobody can you tell you that you can't achieve your any dream. Nobody means nobody not even me or for that matter you to yourself. Just fix this thing in your mind, please. It is going to help you in long run.
And another important thing that life of a girl, doesn't mean to find a prince charming and lived happily after. There so much in life to die for, than a prince charming. Make your place in this world don't be settled with someone or something only.
With the flow of your life, you will be meeting bunch of male chauvinist. And few women holding flag of male chauvinism as well. All these such people are subject to handle carelessly. They should not even exist for you. Just live your life on your own rules. Don't let other people make decision for you.
I might sound female protagonist in all above points but that doesn't intent to demean “Men”. Trust me. Don't ever involve yourself into gender based conversation, competition or any comparison. We all are as unique as our gender identities. Our diversities and differences make us great and useful for each other on humanity ground. Anybody can choose any career field, there no gender discrimination. It's all about the caliber, talent and hard work, what matters.

Live your life on your rules and set of values with zeal. Have a very strong thought process of your own not borrowed. This what only I asked for you from the Universe.



Love,
Mumma
