Fifteen and a Beauty Queen

I hope you learn that the ability to listen is a virtue
I hope your curiosity peaks in affairs that do not concern you
I hope you see that a whisper is more beneficial a scream
I hope you use you time to benefit intellectually instead of choosing to waste away
I hope you learn vicariously and become humble
I hope you can identify your own beauty without scorning another’s plainness

I hope you enjoy the people around you, they won’t always be
I hope you look for love but do not let it consume your journeys as a person
I hope when you fall in love with someone you let them compliment you and not take over your vivacious spirit
And when a love is lost I pray you do not let the mourning take over your life

"Without self-confidence we are as
babes in the cradle" -Virginia Woolf
I hope you smile more often than you frown
I hope you laugh more than you cry
I hope that you find joy in simplicy but  marvel at complexity
I hope you live out the things you dream of and gain wisdom from your experirnces

I hope that you live the life you hope for now
I hope you find an unknown confidence in yourself
I hope you raise beutiful children and find yourself a good parent
I hope you die regretless

Route Change.

Dear Perfect Life,
You go something like this:
Childhood. High school. College. Meet significant other. Begin career. Get engaged. Continue working. Get married. Buy suburban house. Continue working. Build up savings. Have kids. Continue working. Raise kids. Retire. Hope your kids do the same.


As easy as you would be . . . I don't want you anymore.
