Pennies

To my future daughter
I never met you
I do not know if I ever will
I know absolutely nothing about motherhood
I am just your average young college girl
But I want to talk to you about happiness
Please
Be your own beautiful person
Follow your passion and speak your dreams
When negativity enters your life, use it as motivation
Wear your favorite color everyday
Do crazy things with your hair if it makes you happy
Play with makeup
Watch movies and read books of all different genres
Eat fruits and vegetables
Value your body
You are a treasure
Go for long walks
Explore music
Experiment with art
Do not let boys determine your worth
You are worth more than all of the sparkly pennies
In every fountain in the world
Finally, love yourself
My biggest mistake was seeing myself as a useless penny on the ground
