Because you are my daughter, and you are every bit of me when I was younger.
I appreciate the tenacity with which you approach life, it’s matters, the people in it, and the conversations about it. Keep using that smart mouth of yours. So many important, successful, and respected people in this world came to be such because they would not let their voice be muffled, and neither do you.
With love,
Your Momma
