ícone To my daughter
 

I look at you and wonder: Where is that little girl who wanted everything in pink?

Where is that little girl who would go out on the streets with the queen's crown?

Where are the fantasy world, the golden castles, and the fairies?

You grew up and the impression I have is that you slept as a child and woke up as a teenager.

The change was too fast. This is why I ask you to be patient with me. I need some time to get used to thinking that you are reaching adulthood.

Or to realize that even though your mind is still full of dreams, they're very different of those you had when you were a little girl.

You surf the internet, explore wonderful lands and make travel plans.

You wish the world. Just yesterday you wished to be a condor to fly above the mountains, dominating the skies.

Now you think of how it is to fly an airplane to be in the clouds.

You study the stars, the planets, the solar systems and watch space exploration movies, simulating in your mind that you are the hero onboard the spacecrafts that dominate the outer space.

You go down the clouds and your heart beats strong for the hunks, the artists, and the boys at school.

There are so many different reactions and emotions happening inside of you.

The older man awakening, the hormones acting, your colleagues taking positions and demanding the same from you.

In this teen world of yours, there is so much to want, to conquest.

Unsettling times, decision times. Soon you will need to define the profession you want to follow, your career.

Doctor? Veterinarian? Jockey? Anthropologist?

Study English? Major in Biology?

There is so much to decide, time is pressing.

Suddenly I realize that I was also a young girl. I have gone through it, suffered, cried, got over it.

That is why I tell you: Follow your path, do not lose faith in yourself, and do not leave God out of your life.

Dream, and dream a lot. Always wish to grow, to progress.

Do not lose your guts, your willingness to achieve your objectives. Those who abandon their dreams have already lost most of what life has to offer. They have already started to die.

You came to the world to be happy, to experience life, to develop yourself.

Therefore, dream and invest in your dreams. Plan and stick to your plans.

Study, work, and enjoy life.

Do not discard anyone from your life: family, friends, teachers, and colleagues.

They are all around you to give you the emotional support you need.

Be a friend, a sister, a daughter, a colleague, and never forget that you are a daughter of the Light, heir to the Universe, immortal Spirit.

Conquest the glories of the world, but do not forget that the greatest, imperishable glory is what you will conquest as a Spirit, living and creating good deeds, making this world a more beautiful place with your special presence.
