I read on a another blog a couple days ago, that a woman was having a conversation about her daughter with her friend. She said that when her daughter grows up, she wanted to be a writer....her friend who was listening said...she already IS a writer, isn't she?
Such insight, really. Stop and think about that. Why do we often talk about our children as if they will become people in the future? Aren't they already?
Speaking of which...my Taylor came to me that same day (freakishly strange coincidence)...she wrote her "life rules to live by". Here they are, just as she wrote them.
1. Just because something is popular, doesn't mean it's good.
2. Snot rockets don't make u an astrounaght.
3. Lying NEVER solves anything...EVER.
4. your only a big baby if you let yourself think your a big baby
5. You know you have a best friend when they don't tell your secrets. Even your tiny ones.
6. always try your best. Even if you feel discouraged.
7. Begging a plant to grow, will never make it grows faster.
8. You should always help someone who is going through a hard time.
9. at least try to be creative in things you do.
10. never judge a book by its hot pink cover.
11. make some secret handshake with your friends
12. try something new... at least everyday,or 2 a week.
13. school is important, even if it doesn't feel important
14. It is plain weird to pretend you are at a beach party in the middle of winter.
Children are already amazing people.
Love you Tay.....xo.
