What tops my bucket list is to groom a daughter who will never wonder what she has to for a man to love her.
I grew up without a mom and I knew how life was for me. I had no one to teach me the basic things in life; I learned through the hard way.
I had no one to lift me each time I fell or something crushes my spirit; I could remain fallen until luck shines on me and I stand up again.
There were points in my life I wish I never existed; they were all painful experiences and I hope that my daughter doesn’t have to go through all this to learn.
One of the many mistakes I made was thinking my beauty was tied to makeup, artificial wear and I also had a lot of surgeries to look better.
No one gave me the attention I needed as I felt that was all that mattered; I felt men could fill up the emptiness I felt, they did anyway, but it never lasted.
I wasn’t comfortable in my skin and hated my looks so much; I lost my self-confidence and became a shadow of myself.
During those years, I never went out without makeup as I felt my beauty was tied to it and the attention I got from men.
I am going to raise her to be the best and the queen of her territory.
I am going to teach her how to love herself and always appreciate herself no matter the circumstances she finds herself in.
