A letter from July 26th, 2020

Dear FutureMe/Ramblings of a MadWoman: To my future Jbird, beloved daughter and world conquerer.... You're a 10. Easily. But ALWAYS meet a guy when you're not your best. Make yourself a 7 or an 8 on your first few dates. Make him WORTHY of seeing you as a 10. For it's the man who loves you at your worst that will worship you at your best. Also! Never ever let a man/woman judge your worth. Know your worth. IF YOU ARE WORTH GOOD TREATMENT then by god DO NOT SETTLE FOR ANYTHING BUT GOOD TREATMENT. With that being said. Always Give him/her the same equality. Do not be a hypocrite and ALWAYS ALWAYS place yourself in the other person's shoes and be objective in ALL situations and decisions. Learn to see all situations (whether for love, money, or world domination) from ALL ANGLES. Sympathize also with your enemies. Learn to forgive. But never forget. Always love yourself first. My Gramma used to say that to me Alllllll the time "you have to love yourself before you can ever love anyone else." Chances are you won't understand what that means.... It's something you fully learn as you become older and wiser but let me try to help you understand.... Loving yourself is akin to the ability to be ALONE and be completely at peace. "Yourself" should be your best friend. You should be able to hop on a plane to Europe or Asia and not worry about bringing someone along for company. Be your OWN company. When you find someone special, bringing them with you on trips will be even MORE special. Contradictory I know, however, you'll understand as you get wiser. I can't put those lessons into words. But you'll understand some day. There is ALWAYS good after the bad. No matter how horrible a situation seems ... The rainbow is ALWAYS THE BRIGHTEST after the darkest clouds! Hold tight, it will ALWAYS get better. And God speaks. Learn to listen not with your ears, but with your mind. You'll see the little subtleties When you need to know she's with you. 😍😍😍
