2sure Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 You know, I'm usually not much for this type of mass sentiment passed along... But i have to admit this made me think that the whole attitude of it would be a nice thing to raise a daughter with.
Author loveslife Posted July 1, 2009 Author Posted July 1, 2009 My feelings exactly. Here it is again without all the html formatting... Age 3- She looks at herself in her purple hat, and sees a Queen. Age 8- She looks at herself and sees Cinderella. Age 15- She looks at herself and sees an Ugly sister (Mom, I can't go to school looking like this!) Age 20- She looks at herself and sees "too fat/too thin, too short/too tall, too straight/too curly" but decides she's going out anyway. Age 30- She looks at herself and sees "too fat/too thin, too short/too tall, too straight/too curly" decides she doesn't have time to fix it, but she's going out anyway. Age 40- She looks at herself and says "too much to do, can't get it all done, it's been a long day, and I'm going out anyway". Age 50- She looks at herself and thinks "I am just fine" and goes wherever she wants to go. Age 60- She looks at herself and sees wisdom and laughter, and goes out and enjoys life. Age 70- She looks at herself and reminds herself of all the people who can't even see themselves in the mirror anymore. Then goes out and conquers the world. Age 80- Doesn't even bother to look. She just puts on that purple hat, goes out, and has fun with the world. Maybe we should all grab that purple hat a little earlier.
