I will teach her to make her own expectations, and shatter them.
There are so many expectations, so many rules, so many shoes to fill.
As if we are somehow not already worthy.
Shari Sirotnak
As if love and respect are things we earn, rather than deserve.
I will teach her to make her own rules.
I will teach her how to make goals that only she can reach.
I will teach her not to be afraid of her power, of her heart, of her mind.
I will teach her to be messy and brave.
Because finding who she is will not happen if shes scared of the sound of her own voice.
Shari Sirotnak
If shes too nervous to stand for what she believes in.
If shes hesitant, hoping to be flawless rather than flawed.
She will never discover her potential if she isnt brave.
So I will teach her to be brave.
To stand, to fight, to feel.
I will teach her that perfection is overrated, that trying to be ideal is exhausting.
I will teach her that she is strong.
And I will watch with tears in my eyes as she blooms.
