You don't need anyone to make you a "complete" person. You are an individual being; you are a living and breathing creature, and you were put onto this earth with all of the tools necessary to survive, and more. You can be as free and independent as you want to be. A man will not make you any more of a human being than you are as yourself. Having a child will not make you any more of a woman than you naturally are. You are more unique than a butterfly's wings, and freer than a birds wings can take them.
Don't let anyone shame you into doing something you don't want to. Don't let anyone shame you out of doing something you love. Don't let anyone shame you. Nobody else is any better than you. We're all fucked up human beings, trying to exist in this complex dynamo that is the universe. If you want to date someone, do it. If you don't want to date anyone, don't. If you want to have sex, DO IT. If you're uncomfortable with that, abstain. You are a powerful lioness and must remember that nobody can shame you or make you inferior without your consent.
High school is brutal, let's be real. But you can make it through. Find a class you love. Join a club that sets your soul on fire. Practice your passions. Spend these tough few years exploring new possibilities and doing everything that you love. Try to make the most out of this time being the best you can be. If you can fill your life up with things that make your heart overflow with love, you'll easily survive the dangerous jungle of high school.
Be kind to one another. Empower your sisters. Respect your mothers, aunts, grandmothers. Women have worked so hard to be where we are today, and as a young woman, it is your duty to respect those who came before you, and all that they went through to make your life beautiful. Women are magical. Women are beautiful. Let's stop hating one another and pitting girls against one another. Love and support your fellow females.
Dream big. Set goals for yourself and follow through with them. You can be anything you want to be if you just put in the time. It requires blood, sweat, and tears, but if anyone can accomplish your dream, its YOU. You have the willpower. You have the strength. You can be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire. Dream big and work hard, and your wildest fantasies will come true.
Dear Girl, what I am about to say next is, perhaps, the most important message of all. I cannot reiterate this enough:
You are beautiful. You are so so beautiful, inside and out. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Your mind is gorgeous as the sun setting over still waters. Your heart is as lovely as the first feelings of spring, that leave goosebumps on your arms and a light smile plastered across your face. Your soul is more beautiful than even the northern lights, and breathes passion in everything you do. Your body is a temple, and your heart is a sanctuary. You are a fucking goddess.
Dear Girl, I love you.
xoxo -em
