10 Things I Hope My Future Child Will Know
By 
Hazel Chaw
1.
You are fearfully and wonderfully made, borne out of love and blessing.
2.
Sleep. Sleep when you are tired, when you are angry about the world, and when you just wanna disappear into your safe refuge.
3.
Morning smells like a new beginning of hope and fresh opportunities. You don’t have to beat yourself up over yesterday.
4.
You don’t have to feel ashamed that someone could be so important that without them you feel like nothing. It gives you an idea of what I feel toward you. Therefore you are not allowed to hurt yourself in any way.
5.
The grass is not always greener on the other side. The grass is greener where you choose to water it.
6.
You can change what you want about yourself at any time. Your personality is something deeper than just preferences, so don’t be afraid to set fire to your old self and ignite your new one.
7.
Be yourself, but be your best self.
8.
Eat healthy (and by that I mean all your greens as well) and exercise.
9.
Love peace and be the peace you wanna see.
10.
You are your best healer, friend, and company.
