Dear daughters,
These words “you are perfect not being perfect” were once said to me by your step-dad and they have resonated with me ever since.
I grew up believing that the only way to be loved is to be perfect, to never make a mistake, to always look good, sound good, do good and be good.
So when I ever messed up, not only did I feel bad about it but my whole self worth went down the drain too. I believed that my actions and what I could do to please people determined my worth.
This is absolutely not true!! You are human. You are going to make bad choices, do horrible things, stumble your way through life and fall many times. But each of these are simply actions, they do not determine who you are.
Don’t change who you are for anyone. There is a reason you have the personality traits you have. Embrace yourself, flaws and all.
I love you,
Mummy
