Teach

Mothers should... teach their daughters the things they only want to learn from their mommies.  Things like; what kind of face make-up won't make your skin break out, how often to get their hair trimmed, how to tell a boy who likes you that you don't feel the same way, what colors compliment you the best, what kind of shampoo will make your hair the smoothest, and even how to get to sleep, when your brain doesn't want to let you dream. All the things listed are pretty small, but they pile up. Soon you feel like there's so much you don't know that everybody else does and you're out of the loop and you start to question everything because everything you know because you taught yourself. Therefore there has to be room for error because you know you're flawed. A real mother would teach her daughter to respect herself and others, but herself over all others. A daughter should know, from her momma, how to say "NO" with confidence and how to keep her head up while walking away.

Who would you be without everything your mom taught you?



What does that make me?
