What I hope for you… Is simply complex.
I hope you grow up with a soft heart and a loving mind. I hope the world we live in does not turn you cold and bitter as it has for me at times. I hope your soul stays wild and your spirit remains free. I hope you never feel the need to give up your right to choose who you want to be due to other people’s lack of individuality.
I hope you love the way the flowers grow on our back roads. I hope you learn to love the leaves changing colors and wind blowing at your back door. I hope you watch the thunder storms through your window at night and create names for the lightening bolts. I hope this town truly feels like home for you
I hope you believe in yourself. I hope you know you are capable of anything and you have the power to create your own world. I hope you always bet on yourself and never put your money on another individual. I hope you know when people are mean to you, that nothing is wrong with you. I hope your faith in yourself never dulls, even on dim days.
I hope you always take the high route. I hope you fight the bullies and mean creatures of the world with kindness and intentions of understanding those actions. I hope you find the strength in you to forgive those who are lost, which led them to treat you unfairly.
I hope your heart opens to those who have lost their own and you help them find it again. I hope you care for the heart of others, even if it seems to be nonexistent.
I hope you live every day like it’s your last. I hope you don’t stress over the future and refuse to live in the past. I hope you don’t waste time on things that are done and over with. I hope you give your worries to God and trust in his plan. I hope you take the chances and never have to wonder “what if.”
I hope you never settle for less than you deserve. I hope you hold the people in your life to the high standards you hold yourself to. I hope you never let anyone take advantage of your kind and loving soul. I hope you are smart and make the wise decision. I hope you are young and wild but know when enough is enough. I hope you call me when you need advice, text me when you’re bored, and ask me to keep you company when you’re feeling alone.
I hope you never let anyone treat you like you are ordinary because you are not.
You are not just an ordinary girl. You are smart, you are kind, you are caring. You are brave, you are courageous, you have dedication. You are valuable, you are important, and you are powerful.
I hope you understand there is more good than bad in the world. I hope you can see the light in the darkest days but you don’t ignore the darkness. I hope you know how much I love you, how much I cherish you. That I will do everything to protect you.
Above all – I hope you never forget that as your sister, I will never let you down.
