A Letter for My Young Angel



My Dearest Angel,


Everytime I look at you, I see myself years ago. I want to give you advice but I know teens hate it. I want to talk to you heart to heart but I don’t know how to start.
As a teen, I was once like you. But you seem bolder. You are smarter. You are provided with more opportunities to learn…Grab it! You are provided with more resources…use it!
You seem to bother yourself with things that are unimportant, and I guess that's normal for kids of your age. But I wish you could focus more on preparing yourself for your future.
I know you wish to be happy…and it feels good to be loved by someone special. But it would also mean you are closing your doors to others. You have so much ahead of you. Enjoy! Life has a lot more to offer. Open more doors. Discover the rest of the world.
Learn from the mistakes of the past. Life has no rewinds, only fast forwards. You may hurry through life and realize that you have not prepared for it. Take one step at a time.
I don’t want to see you commiting the same mistakes that I did.(It's not that I regret having you, but I wish I had you at the right time. ) I love you, and it would break my heart to see you having to go through the same hardship and difficulties.
Life has a lot more in store for you. Your duty is to be ready for it. Prepare yourself and you will experience a better and happier life.

Love,

Mommy
