Listening to: Nelly Furtado, Childhood Dreams
I
am writing this letter to you today, because I have seen and experienced things
in life and especially recently. Sometimes life deals us with some big lessons
with decision's that we are unsure to make, or afraid to make. The decision of
having you was the number 1 best decision of my life. Jonathan you bring so
much joy and love into my life and all I want is the best for you like any
parent would want for their child. Please read what I wrote to you, and carry
these few things in your mind an in your heart.
Jonathan the amount of love that I have for you is indescribable,
I honestly can’t even imagine where or how my life would be if I didn't have
you. The past 9 years with you, have been the most amazing 9 years of my life.
I want to share some knowledge, words of wisdom with you,
things that I will forever carry with me, and hopefully you will in your life.
Love
yourself: That is so important for
you to take with you, in life there will be people who bring you down, even
family, only because most of the time, they either are insecure about
themselves or they just don’t get you. If they don’t get you then they are not
meant to be in your life, don’t try to make them understand who Jonathan is. Don’t believe what other people say to you, or
think of you. What matters most is that you believe in yourself and realize
what a great soul you are.
Be
Kind: I want you to grow up to be a kind and a respectful man, now I don’t want
you to be a pushover, because people will just take advantage of your good
heart.
Do
what you love: When it comes to life, do something that makes you want to
wake up in the morning and go to work. Don’t let others discourage you, and
tell you all these excuses I will list below.
You won’t make enough money.
No one is doing that anymore.
You will take too long to get a degree.
You’re not good at math maybe you can do this instead.
Did I tell you it won’t make enough money!
There are probably so many other reasons
why people will try to convince you to do otherwise. Don’t listen, listen to
your heart think it through and outweigh the pros and cons of everything before
you make a Decision, but again at the end of the day it is your life and you
have to do what makes you happy.
Keep
imagining and day dreaming: The most
creative and successful people usually started out there ideas by day dreaming
and imagining their inventions, not only that it keeps in touch with a
different world where sometimes we like to be.
Have
high expectations for only you: do not expect things from others because when
you have high expectations of people they will end up disappointing you.
Learn
from your mistakes: as humans we will all make mistakes in life, take everything
that happens to you not as something negative but embrace it as a lesson. Learn
from it and grow from that, sometimes you won’t learn the first, second or even
third time, but once you have realized that whatever it is you are doing that
is not good for you, stop doing it and try a different approach.
Be respectful
to women and all people: we can be a difficult creature to understand
sometimes, but really we are not that complicated, just always know that a
woman wants to be shown love, affection, and they want to be heard even if you don’t
agree with what they are saying, be a gentleman, open doors for all women, let
them go in first, hold the elevator and let everyone get out first, if you see
someone that needs help, then help them.
Do
not judge people: Try your hardest to not judge people, even if you do not
agree with what they have done, will do or are thinking of doing. You can’t
judge because you don’t live there life and you can’t understand what they are
going through. Never say that you will never do that, because you might one day
end up eating those words.
Speak
your mind: don’t be afraid to voice your opinion on something, stand up for
yourself. If you feel like someone is taking advantage of you or if they are
judging you then speak up. No one will ever know how you feel or where you
stand if you don’t use your voice.
I will
always be here for you: Jonathan always know that I will always be here for
you no matter what, know that you shouldn't be afraid to come and talk to me
about anything. Know that I am so proud of you and the man that you will become
one day, you have been such an amazing gift in my life and you have changed my
life in so many ways. I am so happy and proud to be your mother and I want you
to always know that.
Love always with all my heart
Mom
