Hey there, little sister!
How’s it going today? Remember that promise I made in my last post? Well, guess what? It’s update time! But before we jump into all that, I need you to hear this loud and clear: You, my friend, are destined for absolute greatness. You’re not just great; you’re GORGEOUS, and Abba took extra time to make you perfect! Go on, check yourself out in the mirror (pimples? Who cares! They’re just tiny, rebellious admirers of your awesomeness).
Alrighty then, let’s get down to business. Buckle up, my darling sister, because I’m about to drop some knowledge bombs that are juicier than a watermelon on a hot summer day.
Dear girl, time is an investment if you use it well, it is your most precious asset. As you grow, you’ll start realizing that life isn’t all rainbows and unicorns. We often daydream about the future, like when you’ll have that killer dress, get hitched, or throw that graduation cap in the air. But here’s the secret sauce: the future is determined by what you do with every minute, which adds up to hours, days, months, and boom, there’s your future!
Let’s break it down, shall we? Here are some things i believe and suggest you should focus on daily, my future superstar:
1. Health and hygiene: Yep, it’s not just about looking good; it’s about feeling good. Keep that hair looking fly, clean those ears (seriously, they get dirty), use deodorant like it’s going out of style, and don’t forget your tongue (it needs love too). Change your undies and pads regularly, especially if you’re breaking a sweat down there (totally normal, by the way). Keep those nails clean, munch on some fruits, and don’t let your bathroom or room become a crime scene.
2. Mental gymnastics: I know school can be a drag, but let’s level up your brain game. Challenge yourself with chess, sudoku, and scrabble. Read more books (even the boring finance ones; you’re not too young for this stuff). The you of tomorrow will need it!
I am learning to do more of this even as I’ve transitioned into adulthood.
3. Skill time: Want to be a Complete and capable woman? Dedicate some time daily to learn something new. Pick up a guitar, bake cookies, paint like Picasso, learn to swim or play tennis, or learn how to nail the perfect cat-eye makeup. Trust me, these skills will come in handy when you are older!
4. Laugh/Smile therapy: Life can be a rollercoaster, but never forget to laugh! Find reasons to smile, giggle, and chuckle. A happy heart is a magnet for good people. And seriously, some of you frown too much; show those pearly whites, please! You need to be deliberate about this. I understand life may not always be rosy but please learn to find that joy, in God. I am not asking you to pretend to be happy, I am asking you to please always find a reason to be grateful no matter how little .. e.g.you have your intestines functioning well without much of your input, be grateful for the little sis, be grateful.
5. Building bridges: Every day is a chance to write your story in the Book of Life. Treat people with kindness, learn some manners (thank you, please, I’m sorry, excuse me), and master the art of communication without raising your voice and shouting. Yeah, learn to speak respectfully, no matter who it is you are engaging.
You’ve got this, and guess what? You’ve got God on your side too.
So, keep shining, my fabulous sister! I love you, but remember, God, loves you even more. Until next time, stay Godly and classy! 😜💁♀️👑
