Apologize less and learn to accept apologies you never received.
August 11th, 2013 was and still is the best day of my life.
I instantaneously fell into a love that I had never experienced.
Annie Spratt
This inconceivable, conditional, extremely terrifying love.
As you continue to grow, here are some things I hope you never forget:
1.
Be bold, fierce, and strong.
Annie Spratt
As Robert Frost said, Freedom lies in being bold.
Be generous and search for the good in others, even when seems like there is none.
Be thankful to be alive and live every day like youll never have another.
Be humble, stay grounded, and never forget where you came from.
We are all equal and deserve to be loved.
Keep your eyes and ears open and all times.
Believenoneof what you hear and only half of what you see.
Laugha lotand smile at strangers.
A smile costs you absolutely nothing and could be the only one they see all day.
Choose a hardcopy book over an electronic copy.
Technology is a useful servant but a dangerous master.
People are going to disappoint you.
Dont let high expectations be an obstacle.
you’re able to only control yourself, never lose your courage or faith.
Remember that no two people walk the same path.
Stay sensitive, kind, and considerate.
Someone doesnt have to tell you how they feel, they willshowyou.
Walk away from anything that doesnt feel right.
Travel frequently and make as many memories as you could.
Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer.
Never regret making a mistake, but never make the same one twice.
Figure out what it’s possible for you to do differently next time.
Apologize less and learn to accept apologies you never received.
Know that if you work hard, you might be anything you want to be.
The things you earn are the things youll appreciate the most.
Though I wish it werent true, one day someone will break your heart.
Youll think its the end of the world, but I promise you it isnot.
Understand that no person or thing should ever make you feel small.
You are a wonderful force of nature, know your power.
You are the one who stole my heart, and I will always be your shield and support.
Ill always be your shoulder to cry on and person to confide in.
You, my niece, are one of the lucky ones.
